Religion asks you to believe things without questioning, and technology and science always encourage you to ask hard questions and why it is important in science and technology. So I was always interested in science and technology.
Religion is the belief in an ever-living God, that is, in a Divine Mind and Will ruling the Universe and holding moral relations with mankind.
Religion is to mysticism what popularization is to science.
The answer to religion is not no religion, but another way of thinking of it. Another way of being in it.
Religion is like magic. It is all about tricks.
Organized belief in spirituality - that's what a religion is.
Religion survives because it answers three questions that every reflective person must ask. Who am I? Why am I here? How then shall I live?
Religion is the organization of spirituality into something that became the hand maiden of conquerors. Nearly all religions were brought to people and imposed on people by conquerors, and used as the framework to control their minds.
Religion is the state of being grasped by an ultimate concern, a concern which qualifies all other concerns as preliminary and which itself contains the answer to the question of a meaning of our life.
It's not a faith in technology. It's faith in people.
