It favored intelligence, but perhaps more, in favored "art" type beauty culture perception and gullibility and inclination to trust authority and believe in the myths/religion/explanation of the group you live with.
Honestly, the most seemingly intelligent debater I came across on internet forums was Jebreil on Shiachat. He is so eloquent and brilliant.
But he is deluded and incline to believe in religion, despite, the proofs I showed him of Islam being wrong.
This tells me, we hold on to beliefs of the family we grow up with, so hard. Evolution may have favored people who didn't rebel against their family traditions and way.
Perhaps there is a reason Atheists are hated so much by religious people. It's because they don't have any myths they live by. They are so different then to the rest of humanity.
It seems it's part of our nature to believe in myths. And when we don't we feel an empty void. That empty void we try to fill with other things, but at the end, it's an empty void.
There is a lot of Atheist converts to religions, that were Atheists for a great time of their life. There is something here in our humanity to believe in religion.
Religion is so illogical and irrational to put our trust in, but it convinces us so strongly still.
Why would evolution favor us knowing the truth instead of a happy delusion?
