Interesting answers, thank you all.
So, if we are to assert that both religion and political ideologies are fallacious and counterproductive due to their irrational properties, what do we use to guide truth and happiness? We have science to find truth. But where do we find that often self fulfilling and euphoric happiness we may experience in religious ceremonies at one time in our lives (for those of us who are apostates) or that sense of unity and hope we also find in political organizations?
Is there an alternative medium? Or have we just fallaciously expected too much to come from our unlikely lives on this secluded piece of matter called earth and have consequently and wrongfully micromanaged everything over the course of history?
