I get the feeling more and more that religion is being left behind.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Religions get lost as people do.
The older I get, the more I realize that religion is not going to be easily marginalized by one of its wannabe successors - science, capitalism, consumerism.
My first dissatisfaction has always been with religion.
I've been a little bit obsessed with religion, without being a religious person, for about a decade.
Religion has become so many different things. Religion is an economic thing for some people. Religion is a gun.
I think religion has caused so much catastrophe in the world.
When theology erodes and organization crumbles, when the institutional framework of religion begins to break up, the search for a direct experience which people can feel to be religious facilitates the rise of cults.
In reality, many people let go of religion later in life.
Religion has endured since the dawn of human consciousness precisely because it encompasses so much of being human. No idea has endured so long, gathered up so many disparate needs and wants and feelings, and inspired so many different paths towards understanding it.
Religion has certainly been shoved down my throat.
