1. Creates a sense of security for man in order to deal with his own mortality by putting himself at the centre of the universe.
2. Consequences include hindering human development as well as inciting mass murder of the human population consistently throughout history.
3. Used to keep in check the inherent human bloodlust. Which gives rise to distinct class differences as the more intelligent and influential can wield it at their will (see slavery).
4. Survives by indoctrination of the population almost at birth. Stipulates that severe punishment awaits those who deviate from its principles. Ironically punishment is dished out in this life rather than the next!!
