half all all religious need was removed when the street lamp was invented.
Religion has always been first and foremost, a way to get people to obey the law when nobody is watching them. Almost all religions share an "omnipresent" being of some kind.
And almost all promise a reward for not being bad.
Basically, the whole of religion can be drummed up into, don't rob and kill that person on the street, if you can abstain from doing this, you will be rewarded beyond your wildest dreams in the afterlife.
