… this is by no means an exhaustive stidy of religions , but just an attempt to show all men are religious beings by their bery nature , and cannot avoid this , there are endless attributes and qualities common to all men and mankind , and it can be shown the same as i have here that indeed all men are essentially the same and are all religious , they just express their religiosity in different ways such as through divererse faith based religious belief systems with the appropriate doctrines and tenets and all else that makes up their faith …

… but all including atheists are religious beings , i hope you get a good glimpse of this from reading what is said , it shows god has made man an essentially religious being and religion is not purely man made ,this is self evident if we see all men are religious and hold so much in common when it comes to their religion , but of course there are many religions , but that all of them are essentially the same at their core says a lot , man did not create religion , man was created for religion , even if man sometimes creates his own personal religion …

… may god bless and love you all 👍🙂 ,

… john …
