I want to know why in my sociology class I keep hearing that religion plays a role in shaping our lives. Of course it SHOULDN'T HAVE TO, but it's a widely accepted facet of our culture. Is there really any necessity to it? I think it's absolutely unnecessary, and I wish that religion as a whole would be completely abolished.
Sorry if this is a duplicate thread, I just feel like making it would get better results than the last ones I made.
The necessity is imposed by the fact that it exists.
"Is" trumps "Ought to"
