In my opinion, religion is a way for people to explain life and the universe and it is a coping mechanism for them to deal with it.
I disagree that there is 'no single version of the truth' I think there can only be one single version of the truth, but many different interpretations of it.
I think that thoughts not based on fact can be dangerous, so science is the only real religion in my opinion. I also think anything that divides people is a bad thing(including Countries), and religion divides people even though most religions are dressed up as ‘good’ and appear good from the inside, this is why there is always conflict, different interpretations of a single truth.
Even though I think religion is a bad thing for society, if someone says they have a belief system, I think you have to respect it because it’s just their way of coping with life. Plus your never gona change their mind anyway, that’s the problem with blind faith.
