  • I suppose it’s a matter of what the primary early driver of religion is. I think early on, that was moreso a way to explain the unknown and help quell fear and then came the purpose filling.

    I think you may be right that it would develop no matter what, but if it truly does develop as a method primarily for purpose filing rather than as a method of control and fear soothing then maybe it wouldn’t have been so entrenched the way it is. This “Religion first” mindset and then later on “religion first, science second”. A simple change like “Science first, spirituality/religion second” would likely changed a LOT of things for the better in history.
