@museus @jonpemby @freemo @Surasanji Let me give you my definition of religion: it is an institution of power; it has an external and an internal component, and while the external power has vanished in the western world, the internal still exists: control people by erecting a system of moral values that drives them to permanently have afeeling of guilt.

The "wisdom" part can also be derived without resorting to the supernatural/spiritual. The benefit is that this way it can be questioned.
