Western natural science is so developed, why do people still believe in religion?

The core of religion, especially the mainstream monotheism, is to have an all-knowing and all-powerful God who holds all the truth.

Unfortunately, those who call themselves "God's spokesmen" and compile "truth" books have fallen behind that era. And the more metaphysical and mysterious parts of the book Truth can still fool people now; When it comes to practical things, their "truth" can only be constantly humiliated by reality.

And science, first of all, admits that we still have a lot to know. What we have to do is not to pray for anything omniscient, but to study and discover it slowly according to reality.

As for why people still believe in religion.

Personally, I think:

1, traditional habit. The letter of the previous generation, the next generation listened to it since childhood, followed by worship. Some really believe it, and some simply get used to it.

The development of our scientific theory is far from the ultimate truth. Limited by the ability of observation, experiment and calculation, many unknown things have not been understood. Biochemistry is not as good as classical mechanics of physics. This gives religion a chance to exploit loopholes, and scientists dare not say it because they don't understand. Religion is not afraid, how can it be fooled before, and how can it be fooled now? Anyway, it will be proved wrong in the future and it will be in the future. If you can't beat it, it will be a slap in the face. It is a virtue advocated by the prophet to hit the left face and the right face.

Even this incomplete science, many parts are not easily understood by ordinary people after special training. In fact, don't say profound, as the most necessary tool of science: mathematics, the most basic high number of a university education stumbles many people. The content of religion is much easier to understand, and there is no need to entangle complicated formulas. It is enough to give what you don't understand to God, how simple and easy it is. Besides, God is still the sinful and wrong person. It's god's guidance anyway. Anyway, as long as God is forgiven, it is his responsibility.

So with such a useful and reliable thing, and being able to escape from thinking and fear of the unknown, it can explain why there are so many disappointments in reality, and naturally many people will choose.
