Why religion was necessary; why it no longer is.
#2
RE: Why religion was necessary; why it no longer is.
Religion will exist for as long as it meets at least one human need. That some kind of religious belief remains ubiquitous in most countries suggest religion remains relevant for the majority of human beings.

It is interesting to observe that religion declines in direct proportion to affluence,education and the democratic process .IE freedom of religion and conscience.


I have not yet seen any convincing evidence that religion is redundant or indeed that the world would be noticeably better off without religion.
