Was just trying to spark some conversation around the context of the statement, which itself seems silly to me on the surface.
Cause I dunno, I’m an atheist, but I wonder if there’s ever any edge cases of religion helping people, or if you’d all rather just shit over it like we always do.
I mean, religion likely was successful because in early agrarian societies having arbitrary reasons to bury the dead and burn the leftovers of butchered animals had hygiene benefits, so it brought some benefits to humanity in a given time and place.
But maybe not the best idea to cling to obsolete ideas past the point they are beneficial, particularly when other piggybacking ideas are actively harmful.
