Essay of the week - On post-religion world.

I was scrolling through Twitter and read this question by Pareen bhai 👇

A curious question clicked in my mind. Is a Post-religion world possible?

Well, I’ve read about it in the book “The Lessons of History.” They have a whole chapter called “Religion and History”

I opened my note-taking app and replied on his tweet with this 👇

I cannot forget this quote by Napolean. “Religion has kept the poor from murdering the rich”

Religion plays a very important role in helping the society function.

History tells us that religion has helped parents and teachers to discipline the young.

Back in 1870, Atheists in France sent their kids back to Catholic schools as they couldn’t find ways to discipline them.

“France, the United States, and some other nations have divorced their governments from all churches, but they have had the help of religion in keeping social order.”

Conclusion:

To answer the question - Will there ever be a post-religion world? To compress the answer in a single sentence, As long as there is poverty there will be gods.
