Religion feels like our way of making sense of the world when we had no other tools—stories born from experience, shaping survival, culture, and identity. But it’s more than that; it wrestles with meaning, ethics, and existence itself. While I get the idea of 'everlasting truths,' I think they’re too abstract without clarity. Maybe religion isn’t just outdated science—it’s a mirror of our need to belong and believe, even if we’ve outgrown some of its explanations.
