RE: Does modern society need religion?

in #science7 years ago

Thank you for reading and your good comment. I agree many modern political movements and philosophies end up as strict doctrinaire para-religions.
Traditional religions on the other hand have gone over the centuries through learning processes which make them today often less doctrinaire than those movements.
I believe that both Christian fundamentalism (as in some American churches) as well as Islamic fundamentalism (as in the Wahhabi-Salafist movements) will eventually totally discredit themselves and will be overcome by the peaceful movements within the two religions, just as I aspect that Hinduism will eventually align itself more with the ideas of Mahatma Ghandi, overcoming the caste-system once created by the Brahmins and later eagerly supported by the British while India was still a part of their empire.
But you are right, it's not our choice to tell people what to believe :)
