A Origem das Religiões

Religião é um câncer mental. Alguns biólogos e filósofos têm escrito sobre a origem das religiões: Davis adds, "Perceptual accuracy was not an agenda of natural selection. Survival and reproduction were."Since our brains have hardly evolved physically and biologically since caveman days, they retain this agency module that does us more harm than good in the modern age. We no longer have to be excessively alert when taking a walk in the woods, although a city street is another matter. In the meantime, we assign invisible agency and causality to phenomena that have no agents or causes. This leads to behaviors that are a waste of time. To make matters worse, these behaviors are reinforced by widespread social support -- by churches in particular. And, not only religious believers but scientists as well are burdened by this anachronistic brain module as they also look for causes that are not there.
