What roles do God and religion play in society?
It seems that even through our studies in history, entire societes and eras have revolved around their numerous Gods and religions. Religion has also provoked conflict between groups with differing perspectives, which seems contradictory in that religion is supposed to be a unifying force between people. What makes people believe in a God or a religion? Is it a something that causes mostly unification or mostly conflict? Why do some people believe in God but others not?
Another thing that motivates me to ask this question is why do people need a religion to make their lives worthwhile? And also how do people believe in a religion or a God that does offer any proof? Is religion merely a tool to help people be more moralistic?
