Is not religion a recent term among social lines?

Question

Can be argued with relative evidence but religion has not

always been. Term is in itself modern concept of what was.

Other words not viewed as heavenly divine source of human opportunity. Fact the source of oppressive force inflicting tragidies in the realm of the living from latter realms.

Then appeals, beaconed for relief by "PRAY-FOR" a deliverer whereby it was found and presented to the people and went about to grant request.

As "whatsoever thou asketh thatI will I fulfill unto thee." The rest is history as we have it.

Answer 1

Its funny but most of your sentences lack a subject...

I can't really understand what you're saying...

I'll take a shot at it...

No... Religion is not a recent term...

Throughout history there have been many religions and cults.  And as there have been several people practicing different ones in close proximity, the idea of religion must have existed, so-as to seperate themselves...

Answer 2

I think religious concepts predate Homo Sapiens themself. I believe other earlier Hominids had spirituality or religion. To me it only seems natural, spirituality and religion are a fear and awe response to the unknown. It is a crutch or a tool if you will and could have been one of the earliest. Over comeing fear is paramount to survival even if the way it is overcome is rediculous.

Now organized religion is man using this tool against himself because he hasn't outgrown the fear of the unknown or void. What constitutes organized religion is open,really.

Humanity as we know it missed the boat when a few Greek Philosphers began to propose we were ready to grow out of this type of thinking and be rational about the existence of god(s) or the lack thereof. Socrates and many of his students were trying to move humanity beyond the religious crutch which even then was becoming more of an anchor and less a useful tool.

Answer 7

No, religion is not a recent thing. We don't know when or where the idea of God or Gods surfaced among the hominids but evidence indicates that some form of afterlife belief existed in even the Neanderthal.  Ceremonial burials where articles were placed with the dead person indicate some form of religion.

Humans have always sought answers to why & how things happen & when the reasons for these happenings were not readily explained, they attributed them to some supernatural being(s).  God(s) were a convienient scapegoat for leaders as this resolved them of responsibility for poor decisions.

In short, man is a very curious critter, but unfortunately he wants answers immediately & the supernatural is an easy way to provide those answers.
