A catastrophic tendency..............


"Thus, religion helped overcome man's catastrophic tendency towards neighborliness and smoothed the way for millennia of wars - allowing millions of people to discover, first-hand, whether or not their religion was right about the whole 'post-death non-oblivion' thing.
     "To sum up:  Religion provided great comfort to a world torn apart.....by religion."
