I'm not religious, but I can see the immense value that religion had historically as an imperfect guide to ethics and practical knowledge.

Sure, we can scoff at the hypocrisy and flaws now with our years of schooling, but the common person didn't have the same access to academia back them. Short, memorable stories that show people getting punished for misdeeds and others rewarded for positive deeds is much easier to impart onto peasants than the nuances of collectivism.

Someone could point to the horrible acts done in the name of religion, but just imagine if those people didn't have the fear of god in them. Tribalism would have separated humans into different nonreligious groups to genocide in a world without religion.

Classic Mr. Rogers story that when you dig deeper, it's even more wholesome than initially presented.

So no source? Not even a link? Just mindlessly spouting off?

Got it, I guess I wasted my time responding in the first place.

It's always the shadiest, most conspiratorial people that refuse to provide sources and say "jUsT gOoGLe iT".

Provide sources or you simply will not be taken seriously, and overall look like an embarrassment.
