Deep dives
Religion as a Human Universal
Religion is a human universal found in all cultures, indicating a religious dimension to the world. The universality of religion in human cultures and the natural inclination of children towards religious belief suggest that religion is rooted in human nature. Like other basic impulses, such as eating and breathing or sex and language, the religious impulse suggests the existence of a supernatural dimension. However, the mere existence of the religious impulse does not provide details about the nature of that dimension.
