A nice weekend to everyone!



Nice graph; that gives a refreshing perspective on religion
as a human evolution of cultural behavior and norms, similar to say how language has a nice tree going back in time.


Indeed. It seems plausible that religions are local maxima of cooperation strategies. In recent History (compared to the time scale of this graph), attempts to engineer new cooperation strategies require the removal of existing religions. This was the case in both the communist revolutions (Bolshevik and Maoist) and the enlightenment revolutions (American and French). But naturally evolved religions are highly-adapted, resilient organisms.


Very nice graph. I appreciate the remark below it, which asks for some the grains of salt.

I am not sure we can eliminate a religion, but we can substitute it by another (better or worst) religion. "cooperation strategies" needs some goal/sense, for which the cooperation makes sense, and such goal refer to some implicit or explicit religion or reality conception, I think. Nice to see buddhism and taoism there, but where is (strong) atheism/ materialism? Hmm.... :)
