The article talks about how religion or specifically the belief in a deity brings people a sense of control.
I've always felt that any ideology or belief system that operates in peoples' heads to such an extent as to compromise one's rational thought processes really is a control of sense.
Anyways, here's the best comment I see (seriously this should go on a t-shirt) -
"When one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity.
When many people suffer from a delusion it is called Religion.
Insanity is believing your own hallucinations are real.
Religion is believing someone else's hallucinations are real."
