Religion has certain self-reinforcing properties. Kind of like genes that make it more likely to propagate against other forms of information.

  • Believing without question is better than questioning
  • Not believing will be punished
  • Virtue will be rewarded
  • Spreading the belief is a virtue
  • You should obey your parents

Combine that with young human brains being malleable, and religion tends to continue against all odds.
