I will very much contradict you on this. Religion is absolutely not a philosophy.
No philosophy ever had immutable scripture that must be defended.
No philosophy ever had a hierarchical social structure with the aim of preserving the purity of that philosophy.
No philosopher ever sentenced other people to death for not complying to their philosophy.
Religion is a much more perverse disease.
- tjs8rj 4y agoReligion by definition is a subset of philosophy. It’s a particularly old form of it, and has very ardent supporters, but it’s philosophy all the same.
- deltaonefour 4y agoThere's a thing called philosophy of religion and philosophy of science. Every single thing on the face of the earth falls into the purview of philosophy. It's harder to see but the field is just as ludicrous as religion itself. No doubt some of it's ideas are mind bending and complex. But that attribute is independent of legitimacy which philosophy lacks.
