As for religion.
I think its been around for about as long as we have had the wheel.
So has leprosy.
these people may never reach a point where they need religion or spirituality.....this is because they have simply ceased to grow .
But of course! That must be why various
religious went around the planet converting savages!
That explains why there are no poor, uneducated and religious people in the Americas and Africa!
You are smacking brilliant.
you are making the mistake of throwing out the baby with the bath water.
The spiritual enlightenment of one such as Jesus of Nazareth is awe inspiring.
People want in on this.
But the thing about spiritual enlightenment is that it is "a truth which cannot be communicated"
You cannot study the bible or hold a conversation in your mind which will lead you to understand the "enlightenment".
You cannot know "christianity " in thought.
It would be just another belief system and , so, strengthen the ego and make you less "enlightened"
Thus of the 1.5 billion christians on earth maybe only 1 million , or less then 1% get it.
But this does not mean it is not true and this does not mean it is not real.
How many people could grasp what einstein was teaching in the 1930"s
undoubtedly less then 1 % , but what he taught was very true and very influential.
religious or spiritual ideas are the next step forward in the evolution of man (as quantum physics may be).
to believe that the combined thoughts of the socialist intelligentsia, the feminists who write the national curriculum and the boardrooms of google and facebook are the way forward is just
Naive
