“Don’t you believe in anything?” Isaac Asimov said, «I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers».
«Organized» religion, «des-organized» religion: sects and cults, have been created by humans throughout millennia. As humans evolved from small hunter-gatherer tribes into large agrarian cultures, our ancestors needed to encourage cooperation and tolerance among relative strangers. Religion then—along with the belief in a moralizing God—was a cultural adaptation to these challenges.
