I feel its mostly the second...With these kinds of threads, it sounds like it all boils down to: "If only we could get along better", or "If only people would stop having undesirable emotions".
"This should make you happy, and this should make you sad, and if it doesn't, you're broken and need fixed."
Not all religions are full of dogma, you know?Different religions/beliefs equals different doctrines and dogmas. (Dogmatism). So beliefs in God/s can be divisive more then no belief.
I think the divisiveness is more on the individual. I've met people in all walks of life that are divisive individuals(or not). I have to say its more based on personal tribalism and tendency to go towards that than any beliefs.
Well, nature... what is it? There's a life to it I don't think can simply be measured by the scientific method, a spirit... but I could be romanticizing it, and I acknowledge that.Nature and science are what they are.
Science is a method used to learn about our environments or other phenomenon.
Religion deals mostly with humans dealing with the experience of being human, in my opinion. Is it necessary? For some.
