History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unknown without help. But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it.
Lazarus Long
Time Enough for Love, by Robert A. Heinlein
If I remember correctly, the bible was written and has been proven a fact of history. Although the bible is not a religion in today's standards, it is the everyday handbook to the truth about life, no matter what you believe.....
