**Is religion a necesary component of a strong society?**

<@&588707615643795456>

>strong society

yes

No.

I'd need you to define strong society though.

Yes

my general answer, i suppose, would be no.

i say 'general' because a "strong society" could be anything.

a lot of people don't get less obvious rules that are necessary for a stable society.

or rather it's necessary for a moral society.

one really dosent need to define strong society

its a pre objective concept

theres nothing subjective about most things and concepts

simply put a strong society is one that is efficient, one that is immovable and robust in its values

Not really

yeah really

anything but that take is simply lying or low iq babbling

Iq babbling?

Its expressed religious values?

Yes

Short answer: Yes

Long answer:
Throughout most civilisations in history, religion has served as the necessary moral glue to hold the social fabric together. A common argument atheists tend to point out is that ‘You can be moral without being religious’. Technically, yes you can. But there isn’t a moral force there to ensure you behave as such. When people become the gods of their own lives, they are able to redefine what is moral to them. It’s not uncommon to hear the whole “I believe in my truth” nonsense these days. As a result, adultery, abortion, poor parenting, wedlock births, drug use, and alcohol abuse have only continued to rise further and further. A larger slice of the population now have no real passion or drive to accomplish things that are beneficial to both their person and society more broadly. The malaise and apathy that result from this have resulted in higher rates of depression and co-morbid mental disorders, as well as a rise in suicides. So while an individual *may* be able to go on fine without religion, society tends to suffer without it.

I'll drink to that

@ComradeChaos I don't know what that means... explain?

It's almost like the natural order of the animal kingdom. The Matriarch is the mother. She is supposed to care for the young and teach them how to survive. The Patriarch is the father of the pride or pack. They are the alphas of the family. They hunt to fed the family, protect their family from other threats to the pride, and lead the pride or pack to victory over their rivals. The young are supposed to obey the natural order until they too are ready to survive on their own.
