Sacred rituals (church/temple in particular) reward us with the pack response (spirituality/elation) and inclusive signals in exchange for learning the skill of suppression of our impulses.

The most aggressive and demanding ritual is that of islam’s multitude of demands and daily repetitions, the most intellectually demanding judaism, the least demanding and most disorganized christianity, the most spiritual buddhism, the most ritualistic and perhaps best Japanese co-religions of shinto and buddhism, the most difficult and most beneficial stoicism combined with aristotelian empiricism (law and science).
