What is the importance of religion? (part-4)
The sun is the main dust particle in our solar system. Smaller dust particles: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Every dust particle has small dust particles, just like the earth has, the moon. There are also smaller ones ঃ comets, meteorites. There is no such thing as Heaven and Hell in our solar system and in the universe. These are just fairy tales of grandma's bag. These beliefs are just like the belief in ghosts. There is no need for a moral God to build a society, the complexity of society determines the concept of religion and God, what is the importance of religion - in answer to this question many say to maintain the stability and morality of society, many say if there is no religion then people will start doing immoral things. If anyone does bad deeds, he will be punished in this world or in the hereafter, and if he does good deeds, he will be rewarded. This is the essence of almost all religions. This is the most popular explanation of the necessity of religion in society, which encourages people to behave morally, discourages immorality, and thus stabilizes society. Many, especially theologians, say that such a moral religion is essential to the formation of a larger society, without which a larger society could not have been formed.
However, a recent study has disproved this notion. This study suggests that the concept of a moral God emerged hundreds of years after the evolution of complex societies and civilizations. Moral God refers to the God or God who punishes the bad and rewards the good. This question is relevant in the field of debate about what will change morality in today's increasingly secular or non-religious societies, at what point in human history did people begin to believe in a moral God?
Based on what we have learned about the religious beliefs of a total of 414 societies around the world in the last 10,000 years, Dr. Patrick Savage of Oxford University began research into the emergence of our faith in moral God. In most cases, the presence of a moral God in social documents is seen after the emergence of mega-societies. Savage and his colleagues refer to societies as mega-societies that have an interconnected population of over one million.
Historically, all human societies have believed in a supernatural being who can be called "God," and perhaps it is universal, having existed in all societies. Savage, however, distinguishes the “moral god” from the one who claims to be sacrificing or is commanded to abstain from any sacred place. The moral god has some additional moral-related qualities in addition to such qualities as asking for such a sacrifice or ordering to avoid the holy place. They also punish people for violating moral laws.
