The majority of people on this planet organise their lives around a founding proposition that God wrote one of their books. Sam Harris.

Religions beginnings were never about truth but recognising fear of the unknown and the inability for humans to conceive death and nothingness.

When a parent is angry a child may feel they have done something wrong. When early humans didn’t understand droughts, floods, earthquakes or diseases they assumed a powerful being in the clouds or on top of a mountain or in the forest was punishing them for a misdoing. That is how they made sense of chaos. People would try anything to stop the suffering by pleasing the forces behind it and that’s when religion stepped in. It put a stop to questioning, offered a framework and a protector for a price; so instead of chaos the people got a system.
