>>7285446I'm an atheist, but I believe there is order in all things in the universe, and that science helps us understand ever-increasing number of parts in the infinite universe. God is a personification of this universal order. People need it, and it it isn't wrong to need it. You will follow the traditional rules better if you imagine a person behind them, then just paper. America's founding fathers are also like this to their Constitution.
Romans had polytheism and animism, and Japan has a religion bit similar, that can help us understand it. They believed that every thing, be it living, inanimate or abstract, has a spirit, like children who draw faces on sun, clouds, houses and trees. If someone is lucky, they would say, Luck (the girl Fortuna) is following you. Doors have a god, Janus. They even had a goddess of the town sewer, Cloacina. They would personify everything. And it worked. And I think that Christianity, even though it hampered science and it is always obsessed with threat of heathens, it is a less chaotic social system.
