THE VERY CERTAIN FUTURE OF RELIGION: PHILOSOPHY WITH RITUALS
Spiritual = Intuitionistic. Most of us are somehow spiritual. Very few of us can enage in Magical Thinking. And that number is decreasong rapidly. So a future religion may look a lot more like a philosophy with rituals than religions of the past – and very unlike the curse of the abrahamic slave religions that are but revolts against Indo European Aristocratic Superiority whether european or persian.

Religions train the subconscious through suppression of neuroticism and generating a sense of belonging by creating a standard of measurement of values through provoking the “DEBT” response – which is a very powerful primitive mammalian instinct that causes us to submit to the group.

Very few of us (some of you) are succeptible to emotional and imaginary suggestion. As the population continues to develop knowledge of the world and cooperate across different sexes classes and cultures, we require a non-magical non-supernatural equivalent of religion. The greeks and romans were on the verge of producing it before the christian destruction of the ancient world – really, a slave revolt using a slave religion – and little else.

We did manage to europeanize then germanize it, but aside from expanding virtue to the slaves and peasants by literally just doing nothing wrong, otherwise there is nothing good in christianity that was not in epicureanism(empathic) and stoicism(analytic), or in the words of the philosophers. And everything bad in christianity is external to the few words jesus actually spoke himself in providing the solution to conflict among people – the extension of familial love and forgiveness to all mankind (until we have exhausted all options). This is (science) the only solution to the prisonners dilemma of cooperation.
