> If you had 0 education, and only experiences, you would only have the brutality of nature to refer to. But such a person does not exist, as a big part of what it means to be a parent is to be the primary educator of one's children. You also grow up in a culture. What you're describing are feral human beings, in other words, people who are incredibly developmentally stunted as human beings. > They believe religion[...] and live according to that. This is quite a lazy and sloppy claim. What is religion, first of all? It isn't univocal. The best you can say univocally is something like "worldview". But everyone has some kind of worldview, so everyone is religious. So the question isn't "whether", but "how". If by "religion", you mean a belief in God, then I urge you to look at the historically most important thinkers in history. Very few were atheists. And the atheists with the most intellectual heft didn't dismiss belief in God so casually. That kind of amateurish yucking it up is characteristic precisely of the intellectual halfwits you see among New Atheists. New Atheism is atheism for dummies.
