I think it's a mistake to dismiss religion. Many of its stories made sense in their time—and some still do. Religion condenses thousands of years of accumulated wisdom into narratives and traditions that were the most effective way to guide people. When it warns of "hell," I believe it's not just about the afterlife—it’s about the suffering we create for ourselves now when we ignore these principles. Human nature hasn’t changed much in 5,000 years, and we still need boundaries and meaning. Even in the age of memes, I believe we need religion more than ever.
