100 sats \ 4 replies \ @Aardvark 1 Apr \ on: Are humans hardwired to form tribes and disagree? AskSN
Humans are incredibly stupid, to the point where some of us even get offended by different ideas than our own.
Religion just fills a tribal hole, it can easily be replaced by politics, sports, or even bitcoin.
Best bet is to assume that your wrong often and keep an open mind.

They absolutely do. See the rabid political nutjobs who are atheist. A lot of humans need to belive in something, and if it's not religion, it will be something else.
