While it has become fashionable and easy to cease believing in God, humans are wont to continue believing in Authority.<p>Why, for example, that despite professing to uphold the gene-centric evolutionary understanding humans, who are otherwise flesh and blood bodies, can&#x27;t help but think inside the restrictive box of self&#x2F; identities .... while granting authority to select set of identities - not just clergy men, but authorities in various forms.<p>Modern social justice movements are another example of this authority-complex, wherein victim-disciples &quot;pray&quot; to the Government-God to &quot;bless&quot; them with advantages and &quot;fight&quot; against the privileged-evils. Does not anyone recognize a familiar pattern?<p>Belief in a supernatural being (God) is but a symptom of something much more sinister about humanity. It is one thing to question <i>a</i> belief, but entirely another thing to question <i>the</i> need to believe itself.<p>Refer to the Milgram experiment for the classic study done on Authority: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Milgram_experiment" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Milgram_experiment</a>
