There must be some reason why so many civilizations and groups accross time and throughout the world developed some sort of religion.


That's a very interesting question. Why did every culture develop a religion, why do they all believe in a divinity? After all, atheism is a fairly new thing and its definitely not for everyone. There are probably thousands of anthropological, sociological or psychological theories trying to explain this.

*blink* Wow, 41 secular/agnostic/atheists? Never knew it was THAT high in Apolyton, though I'm not suprised.

I picked other; I have my own unique religious beliefs, though it does tend more towards secular/agnostic/atheist, I guess.

A bit Protestant here, Lutheran Evangelical.

I also share Asmodean's way of looking at it wrt. to values.

I predict spiritual belief will become more important to me as I grow older, or should I say even older.

WTF? I was referring to scene in The big Lebowski. I don't see what nihilism has to do with nazism. According to the Oxford dictionary nihilism is

quote:
the rejection of all religious and moral principles.


The Nazis comitted the worst attrocities. But does that make them nihilists? I don't think so.
