1a: I don't think there is a god spot, but there are several spots specialized to do certain things, it would not be unreasonable to think that one spot somewhere on a person's head is specialized to produce certain feelings.
1b i: Not all surviving traits aid survival. There is a surviving trait among wolverines to be susceptible to cancer that is leading to their extinction. It's on the other end of what one is thinking, but what if the survival of the religion thing is actually leading to our extinction, we just don't see it yet?
1b ii: Also, the feeling may have had aided survival, but is now being exploited by religions. Which would mean that naturally the trait would aid survival, but people are being taken advantage of via that trait by religions to gain and keep followers.
2: I think atheists are all over the board much like any other group.
Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.
