Evil lurks in the heart of every man. Education is the key to man overcoming that evil. Religion is ONE form of education which can do so.
A human can't educate himself enough to not be human. Religion can educate a man on what his human failings are and it can encourage him to minimize them to the extent possible.
But no form education can fix the human condition.
It's a heady subject that takes a bit of pondering. It makes sense to an extent once one realizes that his human brain isn't producing his consciousness.
Very many people have inadvertently discovered that their consciousness exists independently of their brain.
They never think about things the same afterwards.
