"Religion is the opiate of the masses" they say. But then science must be it`s needle, because in order not to be depressed in this society, it takes a little drugs (unless you're following the reality program).
Truth. It has a history, at least. Regardless of what philosophers may argue about it, they seem to agree on history.
Many historical battles can be attributed to esoteric truths (as in the Kabbalah) about how life force connects in the body. Most battles were battles for the root chakra of those with common origin, because it is the source of life in the body and everyone wants it. It explains the battles between father and son, and between women, generally. From the root, the power of life grows. The Kabbalists call is Yesod. Suffice it to say, for those who did come from the same origin, once they agree, a unified religion can emerge to settle matters of power and pave the way for the Enlightened Age. ... The aggressive and acrimonious conflicts between science and religion can't create the world we want. Fortunately, there are prophesies for it`s resolution. The question of "where do we come from" has an actual answer and is not a matter of debate, popularity of opinion, or fashion. Either it is one or it is the other (in most of our cases). Postmodernism has failed the masses, by catering to people's desire for elite knowledge, while negating the existence (or at least possibility) of such.
Historical conflicts between Islam, Christianity, Vedics, and Jews are all resolvable. Three of them all recognize Abraham as their fore-father. Abraham wasn't wishy-washy about the question. So much of the conflict revolves around lazy entrenchment by existing parties and old family feuds. The issue of the Vedic races is an interesting one and relates to the Flood story of the Old Testament. They were the ones under the water for their polytheism (and it turns out the endangerment to the Tree of Life). In that story, the Creator expresses his/her/its regret with the rainbow. That regret was redeemed in the 1960's with the rise of India and the gurus (including at least one woman). Interestingly, it was the Flood that gave rise to their expertise in matters of spirit, as they had no body (or, presumably, nothing else to do). All of this is for the prophesy of an Enlightened Age and New World Order.
Buddhism shouldn't be considered a religion because it has no god. It's more of a practice, while Taoism is a more of a philosophy. These are two other major influencers, but outlyers to most.
