Governance and behavior (collective level) too work best when they are informed by knowledge. Why? Because it allows to make optimal decisions.
Religion is a primitive form of “science”— a lot of strategic guess work based on little known facts about nature—mainly what we could experience through senses. It is no longer relevant in our world as it can no longer provide satisfactory explanation of the reality. Using it to make decisions in modern world is like using clay tablets to keep financial records.
Religion is hardly a primitive form of science. It is a form of governance that is without knowledge but nonetheless pretend to be informed.
