Religion and Emotion

It is difficult to argue that religion does not encompass emotion. I do believe however, that it is a common misconception that religion is based purely on emotion. In most religions, one must feel a connection with God, and believe the beliefs of ones particular religion...however, if religion was purely emotion...why are there some atheists that become religious? Or why do people convert? I think that conversion is proof that one must be able to objectively look at the ideas of a religion and assess that they make more sense that religion x or y. I think that there would be many more atheist and agnostics if religion was based purely on emotion. Although society has instilled in our minds, the idea that religion must not be questioned...I think that it is in our nature, to feel that there is some sort of foundation of logic on which we base our emotion. And I do think that that is present in religion, which is why so many people believe in it...
