Not good or bad, but natural

 Religious sensibilities: On balance, good or bad?

I think it’s the wrong question. I think religious sensibilities are natural, part of being human. Religious sensibilities are not universal, but the vast majority of human beings have some religious or spiritual sense, in the same way the vast majority have some musical or artistic sensibilities.

I do see the potential for good — revolutionary good.

I can imagine a world in which human beings had the sense that we were all children of the same god, that we were all family members, and that it thus was imperative to look after each other and our environment. I could see how people could use such shared sensibilities to create — together — a better humanity. It would be revolutionary, like bees learning a better way to build hives.
