Do humans | need religion?

No - there's a universal moral code that nearly all societies refer to regardless of religion and geographic location.

50%

Yes - religion brings people together and offers a rewarding sense of belonging to something bigger than themselves.

50%

Maybe - though tension can arise when one person's religious belief conflicts with another person's human rights.

50%

It depends - how you define 'need'. Beyond personal need, religion has shaped great works of art, music and architecture.

    I would argue that religion is necessary, culturally at least. Not everyone need abide by it, but it provides many things society does not.

    I think religion is an alternative route to morality, though not imperative for someone to be a 'good' person

    We naturally have it. We don't need it. It's humanity's appendix.

    I feel like human beings feel the need to look for something bigger than them as they want to avoid the fact that our lives are meaningless.

    We don't NEED religion, it's not a totally bad thing but can lead to conflict.
