Historically, Religion Has Given People Another World To Live In, A World More Adaptive To The Human Spirit. As A Student Of World Religions, I See Religion As The Winnower Of The Wisdom Of The Human Race. Of Course, Not Everything About These Religions Is Wise. Their Social Patterns, For Example - Master-slave, Caste, And Gender Relations - Have Been Adopted From The Mores Of Their Time. But In Their View Of The Nature Of Reality, There Is Nothing In Either Modernity Or Postmodernity That Rivals Them.
