    Sure, it varies between different groups; I don’t mean to undermine your experience with religion. I’ve never personally found anything compelling in religion (my core question was always how anything can exist at all, and religion certainly can’t answer that), but I can somewhat understand wanting to believe in some greater purpose, and I understand why people thought that humans and other animals were designed by some intelligent being before the concept of natural selection was discovered

      Well, the first concept similar to our current way of religion came from the Sumerians where the first kings were also priest… It mostly has to come, in essence, as an exploitation of people’s fears, like, how many important religions believe in punishment for specifically non - believers?

      Gotta say, thank you for trying to be understanding towards me, and everyone else, even my “contraries”.
