>>11048988>this thread has seriously made me more understand of people who found religions>maybe not people who blindly follow themThat's because there are two sides to religion: philosophy, theology, metaphysics and socioeconomics; and easily digestible fables with the same "do bad things get punished, do good things get rewarded" lesson.
The latter was invented for the masses so that the true religious people can philosophise in peace. Religion is really ontology and metaphysics, but philosophers can't exist if every human cant stop killing and fucking everything they see, so you convince these stupid apes that if they don't stop burning down your library, they will burn forever, so sayeth the magical titan in the sky.
You can easily differentiate between actual religious people and pain-fearing sheep.
Now that you understand what religion *actually is* (congrats, it literally means you are wiser since you realised it by yourself), you will understand why almost every single renowned scientist, mathematician or philosopher was openly or secretly religious and why almost every true religious leader trusts in scientific discoveries and welcomes them as simply 'humans uncovering the will of God by observing Nature'. God is simply the name for whatever the source and substance of reality is.
You are now aware everything good in the world appears either naturally or is taught by philosophers.
You are now aware that "science vs religion" is popular marionette show not unlike sports.
You are now aware that true religion is super logical and true science admits the presence of faith (namely, that subjective observations have anything to do with objective reality). Both use "logos" as a primary tool.
"The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you."
