Religion has grown up with humanity and has evolved along with us. From the early days when humans huddled around the camp fire and stared into the night sky wondering what powerful beings were making those lights in the sky, all the way to the highly organised religions of today.
Presumably then religion has (or had) an evolutionary advantage in those early tribal days giving some sort of structure to a group and helping them bind together in a collective manner. This would also suggest then that 'belief' itself is in some way hard wired into us which itself leads me to ponder a couple of questions.
Did religion grow up because of a desire to believe or was it the other way around and, does anyone here have any beliefs for which there is no evidence and may never be?
