Religion anthropomorphizes the known world, not with hands and feet but with our inner moral codes and innate sense of justice—a type of projection of our inner psyche on to the fundamental nature of reality. We project our inner sense of justice by believing that we need to atone for our cosmic mishaps, with verbal apologies, on a specific holiday, or at a particular time of year. In the same way, we should apologize to humans, find the right time, and use the right words. The anthropomorphization of the universe: turning it into a God with human wants, human needs, and human proclivities, like justice, fairness, family, property, duty, and purpose.
Any ideas?
