    Obv s*** like Buddhism etc is more planted in reality and not as self aggrandizing as other religions but just as a general concept religion came to be bc humans dont know what/why/how/where they are and want to fill in the holes. If I'm wrong then why does 80% of the world population blindly believe in God without any physical evidence

    80% of the world believes in the big bang without any physical evidence too so your point is moot

    But the big bang theory exists because we obviously lack the ability to go back in time and conduct those tests. It's the most rational scientific explanation based on what we know about the observable universe and physics. Many religious beliefs for how the world came to be are nonsensical and/or paradoxical

    were those things motivated by religion or was religion used as an excuse to take more land, money, power etc just like is happening now but this time without the label of religion

    How about both. Not everything is an either/or situation.

    There are at least 8 states where the laws states you cannot hold office if you don't believe in God. Show me a law that says you can't hold office if you're christian.

    I think you might be mistaking something. Religion and technology are two entirely different things you can't be comparing these. If you're gonna compare you should've used science, except that wouldn't have worked. Just to clarify, technology is a product of science.

    What you're saying rn is:
    Stealing technology -> war
    Religion -> war

    I hope you notice where these two are different. Technology by itself doesn't cause war because technology has no will. It can't do anything unless instructed.

    Stealing technology can be a reason for war, but technology as a craft does not cause war and the stealing of land. That's a possible use/consequence and the one who should be held responsible for that are humans, not technology itself. I think you're viewing the consequences and technology itself as one when they aren't. Many religions on the other hand have discriminatory elements in their foundation and religion is inseparably linked to humans because religion inhabits humans. Religion becomes one with a person, while technology is simply something humans create entirely new things with.

    And yea, scientists aren't oppressed, but the only one who oppresses religious people are other religious people. So you really shouldn't be trying to blame science here...

    So what is the argument you're trying to make in this thread then. Do you mean people who oppress others in the name of the their religion are not really following the teachings? Because then you're just cherry picking what you do and don't like about religion.

    80% of the world believes in the big bang without any physical evidence too so your point is moot

    It's not that there's no physical evidence of the big bang, it's moreso that we don't have the understanding of astrophysics to understand the data and information that they use to prove the theory.
    For it to become a credited theory though, it has to go through plenty of peer review and have solid grounds for it's basis or it would have been torn to shreds by other astrophysicists.
