About This Quote
The idea that organized religion is a logical conclusion of reason is an idea that has been around for a very long time. In almost every organized religion, there has been a period where some aspect of reason was used. The first organized religion was the worship of the sun. It was believed that the sun was a representation of God and if you listened to what God said, you would live a long and healthy life.
Today, organized religion is still based on reason but not as much as it once was. In most religions today, there is more focus on the spiritual than the logical.
