The fact that a large population of the planet still practices religion and worships deities/fictional figures (Jesus, Allah) goes to show how far we HAVEN'T come as a human species for the last 2,000 years.
All the technological advancements of the last 250 years and yet, there are still many of people who find it more comforting to take solace in fairy tales - even at the expense of reason and rationale.
As Chairman Mao said to the Dalai Lama when he invaded Tibet - "Religion is poison"
