This philosophical exploration is not in any way an attempt to prove or disprove the existence of God. My goal here is to explore the function and/or value Religion has in society.

There is an effort by secularism, or perhaps postmodernists, to remove religion from humanity. Faith, customs, and culture are a threat to a one-size-fits-all society. Where these efforts go wrong is that they replace one religion with another, the latter being an Omnipotent and Omnipresent government, which by definition is comprised of fallible people. 

Religion, on the other hand, holds some beliefs that are considered universal and infallible, outside of the individuals practicing the religion. Compare that to government which is constantly amended and reformed. 

People have a need and are willing to pay the cost of religion. People have a need for government, but government is insatiable in its costs. 

Religion sets standards that we aspire to achieve whereas secular religion demands compliance by force. 

This is why I do not see religion going away. It fills a need that secularism can’t fill with its version of faith.

It's been working for the people who really understood the truth behind all of them which is very similar.
The ones that just copied and didn't really get the truth used it as an excuse for continuing their primitive behavior!

Your voice is so peaceful in the video. Anyone who meditates would love to listen to this video. I always love how respectful you are when discussing these topics. I don't think your searching for truth, purpose or meaning. I don't even think your searching when asking or challenging these ways of thinking. All that to say, one day I think you'll come to a conclusion for it all.
