      We never really needed it, it arose naturally when people began to question the nature of their reality and other people realized they can gain political power by giving them “answers”.

        Religon was kind of a law enforcement system before governments could properly setup formal law enforcement.

        It’s a way to make communities self police.

        These days, organized religion is a dangerous tool sitting around for random con men to pick up and weild.
