Must religion be logical?

kalimero Well the basic thrust of logic is to have premises support their conclusion. However the conlusion cannot stand if one or more premises themselves are incorrect.We start in religion with the assumption that there is a God but we base this on what? A feeling? a sense of order? a need for comfort? the trust in a person who told us so? etc.. etc..With the notion of God in place {however vaguely} do we proceed from there to invetigate the world by reading others who also arrived at this conclusion? Does this color our perceptions of the further investigation?Do we read ancient manuscripts to find evidence? If so, which one? the one we were first indoctrinated with? Does the first "holy" book we read thus take on significance in our lives such that reading a different "holy" book we must reject its findings because it does not line up with the first we came across?So if this little piece of the spectrum of human inquiry is so vastly tenuous and vague is the solution to be found by applying logic to winnow out the bullshit or do we take the easy course and drop logic altogether?Sorry if my answer was just more questions but the outcome in a lot of peoples mind does indeed seem to be this way. And we must remember that we only were dealing with basic logic concerning premises and conclusion and not rigourous logic or even conitive biases which are of even more subtle nature.
