I have always been skeptical of religion and think the service that it provided is now obvious and religions are obsolete and no longer needed. At its core is a way to understand the “why” and the “how”. Why should we be moral? Why should I be honest? How did we get here? All of those are can be answered much more precisely and to a much better approximation with philosophy and science without the need for woo-woo beliefs. Sure we should all understand and tolerate religions to an extent but by and large the service they pride is served much better by other sources.
