text: On a serious, analytical level, religion is a want. You will not die without it. You can live equally well with or without it, but it is innate in human nature. The desire to understand everything is a need in the human mind. Religion satisfies that need, but is not the need itself.\n\nFood is a need. Lobster is a want. Understanding is food, religion is lobster. For some, science is the lobster. Get it?
