Why religion should not vanish

[Jackalope]

True. I think that dovetails nicely with what I was saying earlier - that people seek answers that provide them purpose.

Yes and that's what I feel we all really strive to, to have some purpose in our lives, and why not, it makes life a lot more easy, but, its when we believe our own purpose is the only purpose, that we stuff it all up, for ourselves and others.

That would depend entirely on what we decide our own purpose to be, yes? If our purpose were selfish, sure - I can see that. But if our purpose were to make the world a better place, then not so much.
