Do you believe I am arguing for the existence of god?
I will try to speak slow.
Your brain did not change when you consciously rejected the existence of a sky god.
You still have a brain with religious architecture. Your world view is full of superstitions, taboos, sacred objects. You are not a rational creature. You just swapped out the old superstitions for some new ones.
The only way a society can survive and thrive is to have a common belief system. It is the only way you can ensure the people are playing by the same rules. White people have been playing by the same set of rules for around 1700 years. Looks like we are throwing away that old rule book, that old belief system. Hope youve got a good replacement thats well thought out and encompasses behavior in every aspect of life. Thats what a religion needs to do. Religion is how a society works together. Thats its function. You cant just say “ oh Im secular, Im gonna wing it.” That leads to chaos. What we have now.
Do you understand that a religion doesnt have to be literally true for it to succeed? Evolution doesnt care if you believe in a sky father or if you are “secular”. It believes in what works for a society. Results.
You're projecting the way you view the world onto other people who don't think like you, assuming your way of viewing the world is the only way of viewing the world and that anyone who claims not to think that way is just confused about themselves.
Dunning-Kruger personified.
What Im saying is just true. Its just how humans work, how society works, how religion works as a behavioral adaptation. Religion is a behavioral adaptation when viewed from withing an evolutionary framework. Which is pretty much the only logical, objective approach to understanding human existence.
Trotting out Dunning-Kruger is so very Dunning-Kruger, you know?
No need to speak slow with me. I like you. Keep being outspoken and while doing so, be based.
I felt like you were missing my main point because maybe you thought I was a theist
