Because of this subconscious guilt, humans project an idealized father image, termed God. Karl Marx, on the other hand, saw the origin and development of religion in terms of his view of history, economics, and class struggles. For him, religion was something created by the powerful to control the powerless. In contrast to each of these thinkers lies the evidence of human experience. Indeed we are in a scientific revolution, yet the overall religious worldview has not waned.
Humans seem inherently religious.
The development of the scientific method has by no means supplanted religion. Quite the contrary, as the world has become increasingly driven by scientific advances, it has also become increasingly religious. Religion has also maintained just as strong a hold in advanced industrialized countries as in countries of lesser scientific sophistication. Recent data from a Princeton Religion Research Center Report indicates that organized religion in America is at a 10-year high. To begin, one should notice that there are indeed many well-respected scientists who are admittedly religious.
