Religions are tried,immemorial and probably
the most disputed ideologies in the world.
With the exclusion of paganist/heathens, the
rest of the world has been run basically by
the same sort of ideologist for several
centuries.The world politics has been
interlarded with the influence of religion,
and the cardinals of religious centers has
been , dullard though they may be, enjoying
a large followings everywhere.

For some straight reasons, I find it
reasonable to assume that while gods are
non-exists,their nondescript ideological
foundation,I mean religion, would continue to
surrogate their more obstrusive image in the
world.The reason behind this is probably the
more visual one thing may appear, the more
easily people try to identify themselves with
them, and probably try to equate themselves
with gods. However,human hubris surrendered
to this simple reasoning also, and all sorts
of arts were created in which god would enjoy
local flavor.Perhaps there also lies the
natural propensity.Why most of the people consider god to be like us terrestrial
mortal?

Mao tried to obliterate religion from China.
Old people from China still say they are
atheist.Buddhist influence is nowhere as much
as it used to be before liberation(This word
denotes 1949AD in China.)Now,with more
open environment, the religion has been
resurgent.

I am always surprised thinking how religion
can last any other competing theory.Why man
just can't believe on himself? Why man should
be so much subscribing to some lessons some
people preached some thousands years ago?

Probably,religions are here to stay.There
seem to be some tenacious element ,that holds
together all the generations of people, and
make them belive on them.
