Religion, to me, is the way in which groups of people celebrate the meaning of their world. They believe that their worldview is accurate because it works for them. The truth is very important regardless though. The paradigm shift is not unique to the world of scientific inquiry. It is only easier to justify changing your worldview through conclusive experimentation.
Religions require miracles.
To say that one wants something different than the other disregards the common thread of humanity. We all want to know why we are here. There are only different paths and different justifications. All that I have tried to say raises an interesting point about our group and its dynamics. Oftentimes I get the feeling that we are failing to speak to each other.
