Humans have evolved. From ape to homo eructus to homo sapiens, maybe later to homo electronicus; who knows... But there is also another kind of evolution and it happens in our minds. Now scientists have agreed that what developed first was our body - first we looked human, only then we became human.
Humans are a tribal society driven by fear from the unknown. It was like that and till wery recently it was only a religious fear from some mistical forces (god/s).
Nowadays humans have also started to fear from themselves or what they might become or acomplish (see. movie Terminator, Matrix, Aliens). Some are very afraid and go to extremes- (live in forests with no technology or whatever. They are fundamentalists of fear as much as christians are. Christians believe in their God, but really they believe in fear. They say they love their god, but why do they fear from him then (see. comandments, Sodom, Gomohr, the great flood). Nowaday religion is the cult of the advanced sciences. Who knows - maybe in 200 years they will worship some A.I. But the key factor remains - fear.
Fear for itself isn't "bad" , nothing is - all is relative. Fear is one of our basic instincts, it helps us to survive. But with religion people have created fear for themselves. Why? Maybe because they started to build cityes and life became less dangerous and they needed to compensate it somehow. Thus destructive gods appeared. Interesting that the fear from gods was equal or proportional to the governmental institution advancement in particular regions/cultures. Where people were very independent in ancient times - like in Latvia - there was no fear from gods. Life was good and if smth bad happened then it was because of humans.
Where we see more "advanced" governmental control over its citizens there is a big religious influence. Primary driven by fear. See- Egyptians, Romans, Jews, Azteks, Hets. The state used religion to control the nation and the nation was in fear from the despotic rulers and their method of control aka religion. In ancient greek democracy people were more free, they had more rights and thus we see that they didn't fear from their gods. They were a part of their culture/society. Rome is an interesting example. In it's late existance period (and not so late) after year 100a.d. Romans more and more stopped believing their ancient gods, became more free thinking. Government saw that it is losing its control- then christianity came. An ultimate crowd control tool. Why else do you think it was made the state religion? Fear controls humans- as in subconscious and in consciouss state. If speaking of particularry christianity then I admit it is a well done control tool. So many leaders, despots have used it and use it; today also (see. Muslin countries, the USA (in god we trust, daily pledge, self declared itself a christianic nation).
Fear is nothing bad - take away fear and take away some part of humans in us. But fear from smth different, not the crowd control tools (religions).
Why do so many people "follow" different realigions , make themselves and their lives dependent from them? Why do they, when say they love freedom, they sell it to some mistical being? Governments also play a role in this. It is easyer to control such people, because they have common fears. Generally speaking - many people with one shot.But still- why people fall mostly for religions that include fear from god, or a destructive god, or hell or some powers that are dangerous to human species?
I have a speculation/theory. Humans are addicted to fear. They go to watch horror movies, go to theme parks and ride dangerous and high adneralin(sp) attraction, do bunjee jumping, etc. But it all is only temporary, the effect lasts not long after the process. Religion threatens you during your life, till you are alive(see. won't be good, you'll boil in lakes of fire). It's a daily process. Humans are adicted to fear and they also take pleasure from it (fear and pain can be pleasarus. I know- during trainings when we hit eachother, train blocking a, after some time you fall in a trance like comdition). So christians saying that they love god- they lie. They love fear, fear which gives them pleasure. It's like being stoned. But there is smth terribly wrong in this (religious affetion). 1. people lose some control on their lives. 2. in general these kind of people are more easy to manipulate. 3. They lose their rational thinking over time. Thus fear- which is/was the major key element in our evolution may become an element of regression for many of us. Back to the ape.
My solution? Humans must get rid of self established contol tools. They have created an autonomous control system (centralised and organised religion) that they themselves have lost contol of. Just like in some sci-fi stories where an A.I. takes over the world. Only in our case the "A.I." isn't smart, it can't make the world a better place. Humans must destroy tht "A.I." and take back control on their lives. Fear won't be destroyed, there are so much other things to fear of (see. metiorite strikes, overpopulation, global temperature increase, pollution, etc). These kind of fears/problems can not take over our world like the religions (A.I.'s) do. They can be ended with, a solution can be found and by destroying that fear, we'll advance ourselves.
Religion is bad because it can not be ended with, it can not be disproved completely, there is no solution for a religion, because for everyone the religion is different. The only solution is the destruction of organised religion. It's like cancer which wants to live forever, but really is destroying our organism/human race. It must be operated and destroyed.. Medicine/other religions, religios reforms / can only take the pain away temporary.
Religion is like drugs (see. addiction to realigion/fear) which if too much used destroys our brain cells.
Our solution for the problem is destruction of that problem, because no other means are possible. And the only primary function of our race is still survival. But we have infected the survival princip (which is equal to fear, survival isntinct is powered by fear) with religion, we have infected our own evolution process, we are destroying ourselves (those who don't adapt , die out - natures's laws). We are all aware of physical threats (see. overpopulation , pollution, etc), but few are aware of the threats to our intelect/mind. We have created the religion (threat to our existance) , we must destroy it, we must survive, we must evolve; or die.....
