Why is there so much historical evidence about religion? Does this suggest thousands of years from now the things history remembers will still be religious?

This is, actually, a very interesting question, that brings home a very interesting point. What, exactly, is religion? How does it differ from politics, science, education, social services, or any other aspect of human existence, exactly? The fact is, it doesn’t! What we call “religion” these days is simply the kernel of traditional practices from older knowledge and social practices, some of it very ancient indeed, perhaps thousands of years old, or more. Joseph Campbell, the famous mid-twentieth century specialist in world mythology, pointed out that there is no real conflict between the Bible and science, as Campell said, “the Bible is simply Sumerian science.” For example, I can quite confidently assure you, that in the future, and perhaps the not too distant future, Einstein’s Theory of Relativity will be relegated to the status of a primitive religious cult, very much the way “flat-earthers” are today! It won’t be considered “science” at all, but simply a kind of religious superstition that physicists were brainwashed into believing with religious fervor in their worthless institutions of higher learning. So, the reason there is so much historical evidence about religion, is simply that “religion” is what we call science and education as it was practiced long ago. Religion is how societies were run and controlled long ago, and religion is how they are controlled now, but, we don’t use that term for them, because it would tend to undermine contemporary political authority. https://www.quora.com/Why-is-there-so-much-historical-evidence-about-religion-Does-this-suggest-thousands-of-years-from-now-the-things-history-remembers-will-still-be-religious
