Quote:but religion IS a massive part of our evolution

No, it is not.

Religions are a cultural constructs, invented to meet the needs of the people and societies who invent them. Religions do not evolve, they disintegrates,in the face of reason, evidence,changing needs and the fall of empires. They become quaint and irrelevant.

The Egyptian religion survived for over 3000 years.Christianity is less than 2000 years old and already in decline. I suspect it will disappear within the next two hundred years. I don't say that with malice or pleasure.I have no doubt the vacuum left by Christianity will be replaced by something just as bad, possibly worse..
