I am looking at the evidence. We know why religion evolved both in natural religions (feast, burial, territorial marking, and anthropomorphism) and in formal religions (moral commensurability as trade scaled). And we know why religion has been supplanted by philosophy among the upper classes, then ideology among the working and lower classes. And today we see the spectrum of scientific, philosophical, traditional, faithful, and fundamentalist distributions in the demographic. We know why religion is collapsing in proportion to IQ, Education, and Development. We even know what developmental variation in people generates demand for supernatural systematizing, and we know how much indoctrination is required to achieve it. In other words a certain percentage of people are indoctrinated in youth, and among them a certain percentage are cognitively feminine (empathic) such that they require external reinforcement over internal regulation, and/or they require certainty and a sense of correctness or control that’s necessary to suppress their neuroticism. Or the worst kind, those whose self image and status is dependent upon the confidence in the religion such that they are terrified of their ordinariness or failure in the face of evidence in life without the crutch of their faith to use for dominance expression as defense against that fear.
I would not deny those who need it the crutch of faith. I would not deny the mind of the majority in the utility of an abstract god as a moral measure of others and the self. But that is different from saying it is necessary when it is only the abrahamic peoples that think so, and the largest and oldest civilization (China) has no equivalent td thinks abrahamics are childish. And the optimu society of Japan still practices nature and ancestor worship and nationalism – which are the only non false religions.
