I am agnostic to religion. But I cannot agree more that region (all of them) play a key role in maintaining fabric of society.
I don't know how true the scriptures are, given that most of them contradict each other but regardless, more or less they all tend to drive society towards stability and tolerance.
- Retra 7y agoI don't see any evidence that society tends to be driven toward stability or tolerance, and even if it did, why you would attribute that to religion.
- FabHK 7y agoI'd argue that over time society has in fact become more stable and more tolerant (read Steve Pinker's latest tome about the enlightenment), but that it was possible because of the simultaneous decline of religion.
- Retra 7y agoWhat society has done or is doing is a rather different matter than what it tends to do.
