The difference is that religion is usually a known & tried way to run a society. It may be not perfect, but otherwise old religions wouldn't survive.
Meanwhile many modern replacements usually don't have any longevity. Maybe one of them will survive but only time will tell.
- pixl97 4y agoI thinking you're confusing causality here. The vast majority have staying power because of two primary things. Have children, teach those children your religion. In the days before mass education and when huge numbers of children died in early age making this a memnatic was an important way for societal continuation. This says nothing about it's continued usefulness after a paradigm shift.
- mantas 4y agoThere's no paradigm shift yet. Procreation is still necessary for societal continuation as long as BigTech can't print babies out of nothing.
