Evolutionary Theories of Religion

[EmmaMye]

My idea of religion is a sense of hope that humans attempt to rely on to get security and a sort of bedrock in our lives. It's who forgives us for our sins, who holds the doors to heaven open when we perish from the face of the Earth. That's why so many people are religious (Though, I believe God and religion has nothing to do with one another). There's nothing wrong with having hope in our lives as long as we don't try force it on other people. To me, religion is a false sense of security that humans coat themselves in to remain sane.
