What do you think of memetic attempts to explain religion?

What do you think of memetic attempts to explain religion?

The whole meme-virus trope is just nonsense.
First of all, “mimetics” is a manifest pseudo-science, dealing with non-existent objects.
Secondly, because there is no evidence at all the religious beliefs are harmful, quite the reverse.
Thirdly because these “arguments” can be turned in on themselves. The meme-meme could be a “virus”.
Fourthly because religions just are not simple entities like viruses, let alone genes.
