itâs covert objective is to act as a coping mechanism for itâs advocators to believe they will face penalty for their immoral behaviors in the afterlife.
without this fear, humans would naturally cease to conform to societyâs presumptions of morality or virtue, and in turn, would devote more time into questioning the disparate structures of social conduct.
sidenote: (not knocking it if thatâs what gets people to âact rightâ or cope with whatever it is theyâre going through).

you a firm believer in good karma too ? always seems one sided to me
karma is real in the way that you get back what you put in. you reap what you sow. every action comes with reaction type
I agree OP.
Today though we blur the line between religion and culture.
In America itâs laws first, religion second. Separation of church n state
in Islamic countries, they form their laws around their culture. Silly Americans deem it a religion, but their knowledge predates America.
Many of religion's "moral virtues" are outdated while society has progressed but people believe these morals codes came from an unchanging, benevolent higher power.
definitely not true at all please read about other religions other than judeochristianity

They really not
Besides Mfs be acting wild as hell nowadays regardless.
It's one of the uses that religion has had in our history, not the only one, and there has been other vehicles of morality in our history

this is my problem. if we're not growing, we're dead, and religion never evolves. you can't expect the rules to just never change, nor can you expect everyone to just fall in line with antiquated morals just for the sake of it.

No, the main purpose of religion is to build shared communities. The morality of religion does further this by essentially providing rules that keep that community from dissolving. Thatâs why most main commandments are community based (donât steal from others, donât murder others, donât sleep with other peopleâs spouses etc

no doubt.
was thinking this earlier as well. religion just seems to be the most common

you're right. i think this is more so true with culture rather than religion tho. religion can play a role in both of course

karma is def a real thing, just probably not a spiritual force type thing i guess, (although i prefer to think of it that way tbh)
Now that morality has been "freed" from religion - the complex of morals and scientific institutions, the human security system, the secular opium of humanist atheism, which is able enough to govern the gregarious species - now, I say, true religion may finally be liberated from said morality, too. A true believer affirms (does not deny) the sacred by acting without justice, decency, with black ingratitude and antinomian transgression against the human world!
