Religion is a very personal belief.
People have very different personalities. How could Adolf Hitler cause all of those people to believe he was right?
I think that science will prove someday that we were born with a certain personality that can't be changed much. I don't know what that will mean as far as how we look at others. Some people are born sociopathic and they don't really CARE a drop for anyone else. Sociopaths are those who kill and steal and hurt. Will they someday be identified as infants? What then? Is sociopathy a spectrum disorder? Do some people have less empathy because they are born that way? I think religion is needed for some people to have a moral compass, but what if they don't care what is right or wrong, that they aren't programed to care about anything but their own needs? I am glad I am guilt ridden and care about other people and worry about stuff.
I think, as confusing as our life now is, I am glad I was born at this time.
