This is true, but what will it be replaced with? Religion changes faces every 2 to 3,000 years or so and christianity is just the new kid on the block. No matter what you do, you can never remove something like religion because humans will always find something they can not explain and create myths around it. I would like to see the face of religion in another 1,000 years or so.

What makes you think that is what is needed to advance? One might say man has been preprogramed for it because it's a basic need for survival.

What makes you think is ISN'T? I know I am probably going to get some shit for saying this, but I think above all else, our success as a species relies on one very large problem. And that is unshackling ourselves from a counterintuitive and predictably nihilistic monetary system.
