The problem with religion is, that we as a society don’t really know what it is.

What we call religion these days is really just a straw man of what the secular movement thought is wrong with it some 200 years ago.

I think both the religious and atheists attempt to align with the universe and its principles based on their understanding, while involving a great spectrum of human assumptions.

For some that is God, for others it's simply reality.

The positive path is the message that truth and reality always wins. This in turn imposes a moral imperative to calibrate, error-correct and align with truth.

In short, this explains why confidence, i.e. faith, in the victory of truth over time is evolutionary important. A deep rejection of a 1984 society, or in the religious sense 'mark of the beast', is a pivotal battle line.

I generally agree yet you already used the secular framing for your argument. That’s what I meant. I thinking about religion starts with secularism, not religion. It’s quite interesting.
