Yea because water is sooooo new and not older than caffeine or carbonation.

Way to miss my point. 

Religion is a racket, just like any other form of social grouping be it politics, religion or business.

Every religion in the world in human history, is a result of surrounding and prior influences. Just like Coke and Pepsi compete. 

Religion is simply our species excuse to justify social pecking orders. Just like Ford And Chevy don't like the competition of the other.

The "homo"/great ape line of our human species existed long before homo sapiens. Humans existed long before even the first sedentary cities or concepts of farming. Humans existed long before the first written languages, or first written religions.

But one thing that has not changed in evolution, even outside our species, is evolutionary competition. Religion is merely a bullshit human invented placebo to justify social pecking orders. Just like Coke and Pepsi want to dominate each other. But all parties involved failing to understand water existed long before soda or caffeine.

Did you feel that breeze when my remark flew right past you?
