Does the World Need Religion?

[Whateverist]

Hey, it's the variable Lemon72! Long time, no see. You may be right that there is a neurological tie-in for something like religious belief but I don't think it is irresistible or necessary. There just is a socket there that others things can fit into as well. I think the trick is to handle all such with "as-if", metaphorical gloves. Religious people would be better off to do the same. Keep the belief, by all means, but rather than profess undying devotion just frame everything with [it's as if ..] tags.
