99.99% of humanity has been religious so far (from its early beginnings until now, being atheism a very rare phenomenon in the past).
If you want to really understand humans, why ignore that fact?
- a-priori 18y agoDon't forget that persecution of a thing tends to drive it underground but not eliminate it. There is no way of knowing how many people in centuries past were non-religious because they would have hidden this fact to avoid persecution.
- lst 18y agoAnd if we substitute religion with faith? We all know (from daily experience) that we need to trust / have faith / etc. in someone or something. No single human is able to start from 0 and to do it all by himself. Now, the current faith of 'modern' (non religious) people seems to be one of: Science, Politics, Evolution (in the sense of: Nature will solve it all for us). But: if the solution to a human problem can't really be found inside himself, that fact already excludes any possibility of being the human itself something similar to God (Batteries AKA All Solutions To All Problems Already Included). Concluding: it's much more reasonable to actually believe in some God than the opposite. (And I really appreciate the intelligence/knowledge/wisdom of past generations.)
