Why Human Beings Created the Institution of Religion

Farbok says that human beings are biased towards the way that we orient ourselves to the world. We start to see these things that make us feel most alive and happy as what he calls perfections or sort of virtues to strive for. The species itself is emblematic of what it means to be human, even though we're just individuals. Firbach: It's this dissonance, this inevitable bad feeling born of self consciousness, this the reason why human beings created the institution of religion.
