Are you religious? Or an atheist? Or perhaps, an agnostic? This skoob redefines religion as a system that confers superhuman legitimacy to social structures and moral laws, transcending mere superstition or belief in gods. Learn how religious beliefs often serve social purposes, shaping orthodoxy and maintaining cohesion, rather than purely guiding personal behavior.

That Stephen King comparison is spot on. Scaring a kid with hellfire is just messed up parenting.

The point about monotonous rituals building discipline is just like grinding events. You replay the same stage 50 times not for fun but for the drops. Religion is basically the original battle pass.

That comparison of Jonathan Edwards to Stephen King was spot on. Imagine telling a four year old they are going to hell just to get them to behave. That is some serious childhood trauma right there.
