I was reading someone’s take on religion on Quora, and app were users can answer any question. It was interesting and I wanted to share it. Essentially the user argues that the reason why religion is so successful and widespread is because it creates social structure. Religion makes people start writing systems to write their holy books down, rules to structure society. What I liked the most was the fact that religion is comforting. If a mother loses her child she is comforted at the fact that the child will Ben in heaven. A matyr is comforted knowing god is at his side. As a atheist, how can you explain to a heart broken mother that heaven doesn’t exist and that there is no god. Anyways it was very interesting to read and I want to see your thoughts on it.
