I think those thoughts have occurred to many people, myself included.

It doesn't take a whole lot of brain power to realize that religion is a bunch of bunk, and many of these people are pretty highly educated. It also doesn't take a genius to see that religion holds quite a sway over a large swath of people.

It's a pretty cynical attitude, but it explains a lot.
