I see people glad that religion is decreasing, but is there evidence that the evils of human nature are decreasing, or are they merely taking different forms?
Religions aren't the only social construct that has this weakness but a hierarchy that resists accountability can result in some pretty bad outcomes.
I would say that all organizations allow concentration of power, so that is beside the point.
Given that other social constructs have this weakness also, wouldn't that mean that the decline of religion would have no effect on the expression of the evils of human nature?
If you removed religion from human experience, would there would be no more beheadings? Or would the elements of human nature which result in beheadings simply find a different cultural element to attach themselves to?
