Religion is not the product of civilized man. Man inherits his god just as he inherits his physical qualities. The idea of a supernatural being creating and governing this earth is a phantom born in the mind of the savage. If it had not been born in the early stages of man's mental development, it surely would not come into existence now. History proves that as the mind of man expands, it does not discover new gods, but that it discards them. It is not strange, therefore, that there has not been advanced a new major religious belief in the last 1400 years. All modern religious conceptions, no matter how disguised, find their origin in the fear-stricken ignorance of the primitive savage - from The Necessity of Atheism by Dr. D.M. Brooks

Dear JGN, I do believe Religion is not a human invention. The 7 day weekly cycle followed throughout the world is a challenge for atheist to accept there is God who created man. You cant find the origin of 7 day weekly cycle elsewhere apart from the creation accout in Bible.

Mr.Santosh Vijayan, Are you halucinating? I have very clearly mentioned that the message posted by me was taken from the book, The Necessity of Atheism by Dr. D.M. Brooks
