There will always be people who believe in a supernatural supreme being. It seems to be pretty intrinsic to human nature to believe in something like that.
Religious ideas came to exist only because humans became aware of their ignorance on so many things, and wanted answers to their questions.
It persisted because humans had evolved to survive in groups through group rallying, prior to their development of independent and critical thought.
Now one of our best survival traits has shifted out of balance, to the point that it is destroying us all. Fortunately, the Millennials are a good start at fixing that.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
