Evolution and Religion; or, why am I in the minority?
Well, I brought this up in a discussion, and figured I’d post it here.
Why, as an athiest, am I in the minority? Simple. Evolution.
Religon was pretty much founded with the intent of explaining things. Greek gods, Norse gods, Jesus, whatever, they all explain how things work. Humans, by nature, have a desire to explain things — without that desire, we wouldn’t have evolved past cavemen. As it took us a while to explain scientific method and such, we invented religon. Today it has evolved into a moneyraiser, and not much else. (In terms of organization.) My thoughts? Eventually, Religon will go away. Gradually, like the perception that the world is flat. Not in our lifetime, and not in america first (sweeden is 85% athiest). But, eventually, it will die.
