Has there ever been a successful society that did not believe in the divine origins of humanity?
There certainly have been hundreds that had no knowledge of the Christian God.
Chinese history rivals that of the Hebrew.
Man is an imaginative creature and easily invents myth to cover the inadequacies of his understanding.
I said nothing of the God we believe in. I asked about successful societies that did not believe in
a god.
The question is not meant to stir up additional acrimony. I tried to think of a successful nation, tribe, or culture that had no concept or belief in a supreme being or beings and I can't come up with any due to my limited knowledge. That is in part why I asked. I also thought it can be a thought provoking question (in spite of how unpopular they can be around here on some days).
