The purpose of religion


Recommended Posts

What replaces religion ?

 

What was there before religion ? 
 

Self reliant survival ?

Fear/confusion leading to superstitions born of the experience if randomly timed coincidence?

 

An evolution awareness that kindness nets improvement of one’s life? 
 

An intrinsic motivation simply to be a better self? 
 

Is not most if not all virtue ultimately self directed ? 
 

Why did religion ever evolve as a group approach?  There are now leaders and sacred spaces & places - to what end & of what value? 
 

What replaces religion largely is determined on why religion ever came into existence.
