Religion kills

[Arkilogue]

So then Religion would work as a catalyst accelerating tendencies already in motion.

You have a tendency of vastly overstating your case, it seems: how on earth could you say that religion accelerates those tendencies, when you only have one sample group and no way of making a comparison?

Well you certainly have your work cut out for you in the world at large. But until you get past the spears and arrows of amazonian tribes that eschew all outsiders, pockets of indigenous religion will continue.

"It's hard," is not the same thing as "it's impossible," and frankly, given the shrinking demographics of western religions, it might not be as hard as you'd think.

The root meaning of the word "religion" (from re ligare') is to bind together into a greater unity. That's what it does. It forms and propagates an in-group that works for the increase of that group. Egypt is a prime example of civilization from religion.
