[Serious] What does religion have to offer?
#4
RE: What does religion have to offer?
I think that a lot of it is community. It's a feeling of belonging even if it's only surface deep. Those things and the ritual. I think people find the routine/ritual comforting.

We can pick it apart all we want but there is also the need to be able to make the claim of having a certain faith even if they really don't.

When someone asks "What church do you attend?" it's uncomfortable in a lot of places not to have an answer.
