How religion came to be what it is now
Question
Hello,
Are there any articles / books / other sources of information from which one can learn how religion got from what it was thousands of years ago to what it is today (and “today” in the sense that today it doesn’t look like much, to put it mildly)?
Answer
You should ask researchers in the academic study of religions. But take their interpretations with a very large grain of salt.
Discussion on Answer
Because in these fields (which I call “nonsense studies”), people tend to offer interpretations rather freely and present them as scientific facts.
Why?
