People WANT to believe in Religion.
read that Marx quote , carefully
It is the people that gives credence to Religions.
NOT the other way around....
well true! so we must understand why so to be able to explain and correct
truth can set free so we must have a society that prioritizes truth. it is un-free dominated exploitative society that prevents truth and keeps humanity child-like...based on the capture of production by a minority exploitative class
reverse that by popular takeover the truth becomes unthreatening. humanity now has the freedom to make truth free, the product of human work and study and available
but what becomes positive is that there is no urgency that people change immediately. society buys for itself time to come to itself.
free society controlled by the people who now in ownership of the productive forces does not need to force and impose anything on itself unless challenged and faced by the need to deal with immediate existential crisis that requires the immediate change of the human mind, to correct selves by incorporation immediate hard truth opposed to what was believed just yesterday
once we achieve a society the time bought allows society to come to grips with truth as time flows easily. and that is how it happens. the truth is revealed..you hear it..it upsets all you believed..you drop it, put away the uncomfortable thoughts..and months, years later you just wake up one morning and it does not bother you anymore
I have lived that. I used to believe myself..and it was really hard to give up heaven. Charles Darwin hit me hard..and after a while Darwinism was child's play.
