I cannot reconcile this idea. Statements claiming that religion is only brainwashing. Where and when did the initial brainwashing occur? How was the idea of God/religion developed? I believe that we, living in a world where the idea of God/religion exists, do not explain this well. Given no example of a greater being, why would man jump to a God/religious idea? I am not sure that I believe that there is an adequate impetus to leaping to the idea of the supernatural. I am not saying it could not occur necessarily, but I cannot come to a decent scenario to lead to this idea.
Given a naive subjects, with no exposure to the ideas of God and religion. What impetus would lead to God/religion? And how would this development occur?
This is not a debate as religion or not, this is a discussion as to if it is really possible for religion/God to have developed in humanity without some outside influence.
