In this episode, The Lallantop's Kuldeep Mishra explained about the sociological and psychological reasons behind the rise of religion. What is it about religion that has kept it alive for centuries, despite countless wars, philosophical arguments, and scientific discoveries challenging its existence? Empires have fallen, civilizations have disappeared, and yet religion has remained steadfast. Why do 84% of the world’s population still believe in it, even in the age of science and technology?
In this video, Kuldeep delves into the origins and evolution of religion, exploring its roots in human psychology and sociology. From insecurity and hope to societal stability and identity, religion has played a pivotal role in shaping human behavior and social structures. We discuss theories by renowned thinkers like Yuval Noah Harari, Durkheim, and Max Weber, explaining how religion functions as a moral compass, creates social cohesion, and even influences economic systems like capitalism.
He also examine the dark side of religion – blind faith, superstition, and the "Us vs. Them" mentality that has often led to violence and division. Through examples from history and neuroscience, we understand why humans are so quick to form groups and why religion is often at the center of such conflicts.
