The collection shows a predominant view that religion is a natural human trait, with posts citing scientific studies and historical evidence, such as the claim that 'religion forms in every culture through tradition & culture,' and referencing researchers like Paul Bloom. Words like 'natural,' 'innate,' and 'primordial' enhance the tone of inevitability and importance, reflecting both curiosity and reinforcement of religion's integral role in human life.

Abstract in brief
Religion is an important social and intellectual aspect of human life, but it has been overlooked by modern developmental psychologists.
Recent studies indicate that young children naturally understand core religious ideas, such as mind-body dualism (the belief that mind and body are separate) and belief in divine agents.
The research highlights these innate tendencies and suggests future research directions to better understand the development of religious cognition in children.]
Here it is (in part). Something I've been working on for quite some time. Arguing that religion is not only natural, but the eventual product of normal human cognition.
I've decided to split it into 2 parts.

Religion and religious behavior are signs of a healthy population in a stable country. Religion is natural and if you don’t find it in a country, something is going horribly wrong. None of this means any religion is true. https://t.co/AaK4dQ3kfW

Freedom of religion is natural. I have no problem with you worshipping what you choose. But when you start putting a foreign god over your own race, that’s a problem. All I’m doing is pointing that out

Early man realized he can say/listen to words and make/see pictures in his head no one else sees or hears, he become religious.
Religions is about faith, faith is about belief is about mental conviction.

@TheSkeptic4122 Religion defines morality, valuing preservation which is a natural instinct.. Even animals mourn loss. One might even say, religion is natural.
Religion is natural to us; it has a primordial position within the human psyche.
Religion builds off our psychologic reliance on symbol and story and unifies us as a social species.
We might as well call ourselves 'Homo Religionis'
@LatFilosof Sorry went with phrasing of tweet you were responding to here. Yours is religion is natural, or arises spontaneously, rather than being the product of indoctrination. There is however an explicit element of atheism not being default, how it takes cognitive override, etc., which
@qadrishabih_ When a certain religion is inexorably amenable to be used as justification for terrorist acts, blaming that religion is natural.
Justice can only happen when that religion is held accountable and its hateful content dividing people is abrogated. That is the unvarnished truth.
@LarsTheBadMan No religion is part of human culture. It will never just fade into nothing. Religion has been with us and will continue too be with us. The religious impulse is real. If it's layed onto the wrong image. It tends too corrupt very fast. Religion is natural. Iykyk

@_Ochiedike Not possible. Religion is natural occurrence. It is the manifestation of our higher values. Because of religion society and culture continues on. Religion is the final keeper of tradition. Take that away..the civilization falls into tyranny. Baby and bathwater situation.

@PAHoyeck @atkinspritchard @LatFilosof "Religion is natural" meaning it plays a constitutive role in human nature vs being a product of our cognitive apparatus/evolution? Also, the status of teleological thinking in science is controversial which further influences what permiscious use among atheists actually entails.

@PorscheGirlCute @BaDDoG1984 @GenericSnarky @grok My religion is natural, if you want to be Christan have to be baptized, in Islam have to accept Muhammad as last prophet, in Judaism have to circumcision. But in hinduism there is no such rules every one are by birth Hindu
@OffiecialKrissh You have a point but I do it think religion is natural to us as humans. Just like cultism, it was started by someone and passed down to coming generations.
Q: Much that is in Christianity is found in other religions also.
A: It would be surprising if that were not so. Religion is natural to man; and if men try to construct religious systems in accordance with their natural instinct and needs, they will naturally hit on some truth.
@_Ochiedike Religion is the basis of life on earth. You seem not to understand that. All countries have their religions. People choose to change if they want to. Choice to believe. So religion is natural in all the world and there are many religions. African tyranny is worse than colonialism
@LafleurDan @NaiKaroYar @josh_hammer No zealots are crazy. Religion is natural. It's unnatural not to believe in some divine entity and ordinance. Plus most of these Zionists are atheists or deists. They use God for their own ends. Truth is, they are not gods people. They are Satan's people. They hate Yeshua.
@ACTBrigitte Being afraid of a death cult that wants to kill Christians, Jews, and believers of any other religion is natural, and anyone telling you not to defend yourself against them is on their side.

@paradisebelair @shitpost_2077 Having a religion is natural to human beings; every civilization that has emerged throughout history has developed some kind of religion, even if it isn't the true one. Homosexuality reduces humankind to depravity and barbarity.
@isfjcutebear @elonmusk Its not anti-Christian to not be a Christian. Japan has its own religion. Them rejecting a foreign religion is natural, not anti-Christian.

@PunishedMamoru @HMBohemond Atheism is not a lack of belief, that's agnosticism
It's the active opposition to the belief in the existence of God, and the morality it implies: no morality
It is very easy for humans to know that God is, atheism is unnatural, when believing in another religion is natural
@LalalaSomerset @BlaakBrNdN @Lilith_Atheist I was determined through my micro-evolutionary lineage to have a religion based on my environment.
Evolution is natural, the results of evolution must also be natural, therefore religion is natural.

No, religion IS natural. It’s just uniquely natural to human beings. I am not religious and it’s fine to not worship any divinities, but I respect those that do as long as they don’t deny science. There is no reason to be disrespectful towards them because that accomplishes nothing.
@NancyHardone हिंदू धरम को किसी ने स्थापित नही किया है, आद्य शंकराचार्यजी ने सिर्फ उसका पुनरूज्जिवन किया है| I.e. Hindu religion is natural, whil others artificial.
@skgody @GuyManDudeBro3 Greek, Jewish, Germanic, Norse etc! What's important is religious tolerance because religion is natural, personal and central to people lives, hence no need to mock anyone's religious beliefs! It's a lack of charity and it reveals deep seated issues with the perpetrators!
@DrLoydObenshain @LucifersTweetz everything but religion is natural. Religion is the coping mechanism employed by the ruling class to convince the ignorant to endure injustice without complaint.
@pallnandi Religion is natural hence, personal! You can be brought up in a particular religion and later change based on personal convictions! All but one of these places mentioned has a national religion and with reason! You are also guilty because atheism is not African!
@BrazyBazuuu Your disdain for Christianity alone- I assume- is preventing your objective criticism! You can treat people who misunderstand and misrepresent religion not religion. The practice of religion is natural to man; denying this is denying the truth about yourself!
@CommonSensiblTV @OldBoschQueen @bluefolf Religion is not natural.
Studies 2016 + debunks that religion is natural.
Storytelling is natural yes, it came from a way to entertain ourselves.
gods was a side product of trying to explain things we did not understand. But, with more knowledge religions dies.
@xxrihaa All religions are man-made and there is a reason why almost all religions in the beginning of us forming bonds as humankind were polytheistic and not monotheistic and if we wanna say any kind of religion is natural it would be polytheistic religions
@grok @leonardaisfunE Also, it is possible to tell people with lower IQ that there is no god. It is not possible to explain to low IQ people there is no god. Low IQ people have more mistakes in recognition patterns, hence religion is natural for them.
@clownyow @juan_dla_mancha @benappel We've already run that experiment and it shows the exact opposite of what you're claiming.
Isn't it weird that religions sprang up all over the world, in every culture, and has always been more common than nonreligion?
Religion is natural, trans is spread by social contagion.
@DrNadia72 Hindu. Purpose of question? Your ancestors were Hindu. Not only muslis but also people of other religions were Hindu. Hindu Religion is ancient¬ established by any founder but revived by Adya Shankaracharya. Hindu Religion is natural while others,artificial.
@ideanoc17 I agree. I don't believe but still respect believers. My family is catholic. The way they cherish their religion is natural, lit up a candle for a saint, kiss the cross on their neck. Solemn, personal, introspective. Whatever that video is... A performance. Feels fake, wrong.
@BozosAkram @nu_ohcaf @DelusionPosting Aslo what the fuck do mean religion is natural need? Its a fucking thing THAT WE MADE UP YOU IMBECILE!!. if it was natural need then all atheist would have died you stupid piece of shit
@atothej428 @Purrymann113 Since we are natural beings. And our brains are natural. Our thoughts are natural. Religion is natural. And all social constructs we create are natural.
Everything we build, every construct, every myth, is still nature playing with itself through us. Doesn’t mean it’s good or
No need to bring up the supernatural here. Dualism is a component of consciousness, which evolved (in nature, thus it is "natural"). I would also claim that religion is natural, in that it evolved in human culture, and human culture emerges naturally out of human biology.
