Religion on a whole is either:

Completely true in ever facet... Jesus Christ walked the earth and healed people and taught people the lessons of bible (Christians)

-or-

It's completely false and it was a great marketing plan for someone who wanted to make some money. Let's face it... you say that there is a higher power, you make it sound like you're trying to make things
better for people by giving them a standard rules for learning in this book called the bible... and you can't question it because you can't test God's power, and you should pay tithing every week... and all that percentage of your income goes strictly to the church and out into the community? ....you'd like to think so. Let's put it this way... if Religion (catholicism) isn't real... then there was a very smart buisness man behind it.

Why do you say religion can only exist if Catholocism is correct?.... There are thousands of religions in the world... and I think the question itself is flawed... The question should be why do people believe that "GOD" exists... BIG difference....

I believe god exists... it's a personal belief... and Yes I am well educated.

Why do most of the world show some sort of religious belief even in modern times? Even in developed nations, the rate of people that claim to be part of a religion is quite high. With all the education geared around evolution, why does it remain such a high precentage of the population that still follows the old ways?

*not that there is anything wrong with it*, i am very tolerant of all religious forms, including but not limited to the origins of our species through evolution.

mainly because people need something to beleave in mainly because thier afraid of dieing and its easier if they think thier is some sort of after life. also I don't mind religion too much considering it enforces morals on people I'm not religous though at all
