It is such a long and long debate in history, and I think it will continue for another good time. However, I consider that the belief in a superior being is a natural quality in the human being. That need of Hope that, when dying, we will continue to another plane (Call heaven, reincarnation, another dimension, etc). I believe that the belief in God, in any culture, is based more on ethical and moral needs, also on physical and material needs: the more these needs are, the faith will increase. Good post friend.
