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.
