Religions depend heavily on man-made concepts but how do you prove that they actually are. Surprisingly it its not a difficult problem. Imaging a human growing up in an environment where there has been no indoctrination and therefore has never heard of any of the concepts so freely espoused by any religion such as Gods, Souls, Spirits, and so on, as is the case with a just born baby, until they are educated (indoctrinated) by other human beings.
The religious concepts and beliefs are therefore all man-made. This is part of our inherited drive to try finding reasons to survive and thrive in the future. We have inherited a capacity for unlimited imagination, (science fiction and
make sense of our environment and find explanations to help us survive. Some of these man-made concepts are successful and therefor adopted but many are not and can even be detrimental as the history of religions shows us.
Although many of these man-made concepts do increase the survival rate, many are still counterproductive so we must constantly modify the concepts which are positive and reject the negative ones. The tendency to hang onto religious dogmas that are harmful must be removed by applying logic, education and critical thinking. Proven scientific principals must be applied instead of the many detrimental man-made dogmas fiercely defended by the many religions, which each claim to be the correct ones.
We must look at scientific facts and research to find the best way to sustain our existence rather than our imagination, dreams and hallucinations.
