Why Are Humans Religious? - A Profound Explanation

Religion and Spirituality is a critical element of being a human. Although we are seeing an increasing number of people express their spirituality in a nonreligious manner, rigid religious belief systems still dominate the planet today. This video will explain in-depth the point of religion, the purpose it serves, and why so many people believe in it.

Because they want to be lied to.

Because life is complicated and hard, reality is harsh and unforgiving, and there are many things that we’d like to have answers to that we simply don’t. Religion is about pretending none of this is true because it feels better to imagine that it’s not. That’s literally it.

About 4 years ago I read 'Autobiography of a Yogi' by Paramahansa Yogananda, and he expresses the same ideal that both Eastern and Western religions are really about finding and acquiring the Kingdom of God - within you. In other words, 'Self-Realisation'. Great video. Really enjoyed it.

Religion or spirituality began when a cave dweller looked up at the night sky and saw the Milky Way, and immediately and instinctively KNEW that there was something - something - out there that was larger than themselves.

It’s more complicated than you think because when we pass away, we won’t be on earth anymore and we will be connected with our loved ones

Also, the human brain is wired to anthropomorphize non anthropic things.

Religions are good for human beings as long as they bring peace of mind and contentment. The world is harsh, and people need comfort. However, the problem arises when there is religious bias and hate speech

The reason you are not able to communicate it to me is because it makes no sense.

I spent 15 years of my life denying religion, believing that I myself was enlightened by denigrating faith and living by pure reason. I spent much of that time feeling that something was missing. As I've reencountered spirituality and come to embrace it I've learned that humans are as much spiritual beings as we are rational beings. Faith and reason are not contradictory but complimentary. In the same way we need to feed the body with sustenance, the mind with knowledge, we need also to feed the soul with wisdom. Spirituality, like science, is a quest for truth. A way of understanding reality. Unfortunately, it can also be misused. Religion can't fully explain the scientific world. And vice versa, science cant fully explain the spiritual. They each, nonetheless, have their respective domains.

I'll tell you why people have the need for religion, they don't accept death, they need to believe that there is another better life after death.

1. Children are spoonfed with religion. What the parents believe is a big influence on what you will believe.

I grew up non-religious in an Islamic country. After going through a brief depression period at 15 because of the Islamic teachings at school, I became an atheist (without even knowing what it was until a few years later). From 18 to 22, I'd call myself an atheist and "debate" people over their faith, Islam or otherwise. I learned a lot about argumentation and logical fallacies.

I grew up non-religious with no religious trauma. Homophobia was never preached, racism was seldom preached(my father had his moments), and we never went to church. Throughout the years, I became atheist, and so did my mother and sister, but father stayed a christian through label, but never practice. I had a a period where I was an antitheist, but this was due to religion confusing me, I didn't understand it. Then I met my partner, a christian guy, he opened my eyes to the concept of individuality.

This video is really clever. I come from a very religious Jewish family and I was never taught why I was Jewish. I was just expected to practice everything in my religion without raising my voice or id get in trouble. I’m 20 now and I’m not religious anymore. It’s made me so much more open and I feel my creative side coming out as now I’m free to think what I want.

[@RighteousOutlawMusic]

You should make a video where you visit a leader of each religion in an attempt to be convinced/converted

[@cartoonheart1111]

I was raised catholic and it never resonated. I knew I wanted to break away from it, but it was difficult. I felt like it had a stranglehold on me especially because of family pressure. At one point I just made the decision to let it go. It was very liberating. Thank you for the video.

The hell of religion is part of the awakening process

[@DarkFay]

It’s a cope with death. That’s it.

[@jovialbivouacker99]

Fear of the unknown and death are big contributors to religious beliefs.😐🤔
