Other experts, believe that religion is a relic from the times where the humanity develope. And the purpose of religion in this time was to connect a group of people among of themselves. To this time religion was adaptive and could change, if a tribe comes into conntact with another tribe. But today this is impossible

There are two another theorys : The first theory says that religion have an influence to our fertility. Because still today many religions say that it is important to have many chlidren, so the theory said that religion evolve to safe the persistence of the human race.
The second theory said that religion caused joy and joy makes people more productive, so religion evolve because it could make it possible that people could better care for their familys

In 2015 the team of the Duke University reviewed 3000 studys about this topic.
Their result was, that in 79% of the studys says,  that people who believe in God live longer than people who don't believe in God
And in the following i will mention three possible reasons for this phenomenon.

Many religions, tell their believers how important a good health is, so many believer do something for their health because of their religion. Because of that, a number of studies have shown, that religousness is associated with better general health habits, including lower rates of alcohol and smoking consumption.

Many people could coping stress situations even better when they believe in God. This could came from the fact, that many people think that their God/Gods will help them, when they have problems. Another reason for that, could be that many people think that the life on the earth is just a an intermediate station to the perfect life in paradise.

# data[].attributes.body
Another reason for this is also the social support in the religions. Because many of the religion, for example the church, offer support groups to help people who have problems. Because of this groups,many people who are a menber of an religious institution, have a better accsess to social support.

Religion have some benefits but also some disadvantages. And in the following I will mention some of them.

# data[].attributes.body
Religion could promotes prejudices. Because when people believe in a religion, they tend towards to only like the people which believe in the same religion as them. So in some countries peole can't live with people who don't believe in the same religion as them, or atheists have to face widespread prejudices.

Some of the most violent crimes in human history have been motivated by religious fanaticsm. A good example for this are the crusades, the holy Inquisition, or the IS

Another point is, that sometimes religious people priviliges bilnded faith and obdience over reason and critical thinking. This line of thinking can promote ignorance or denialism on scientific issues and can hinder scientific pogress. By promising rewards in another life, religion can also distract people from the problems in the real world. This could lead to religious leaders who manipulate the believers, which could end in catastrophes, for example in 1978, 900 people from a sect commit sucide because the religious leader of this sect said that.

Hello, my name is Leon Jungblut, and today I will tell you something about the belief in god in the modern world . I will talk about this topic, because religion affects, everybody of us. We get in contact, with religion in every part of our life. We get in contact with religion in our citys, when wee see a church,a  mosque , a synagouge or a temple. We get in contact with  religion in news, we get in contact with religion in school , Maybe we still get in contact with religion in our familys. And so im my taptalk you will get some interesting points of view about this topic. I will concentrate on the questions why people believe in a religion, why religion is so powerful in the world, and what could be  the possible future of religion. But before i will start I want to mention, that i am not really believing in any religion, altough I had a catholic name ceremony I don't want consider me as a christian. But I am really interested in the role of  religion in our world and why people believe in something,  So first I will start with the numbers. Today 84% of the human population belive in a religion, while the other 16% are atheists. Interesting to mention is that atheism is something new, 100 years ago, only one % of the humans, said that they believe in nothing. But before i will tell you something about the question, why  does people believe in a religion , I want to tell you, how many people believe in which religion. So in 2020 the biggest religion was the christianity with  2.3 billion believers. The islam is the second biggest religion with more than 1.6 billion believers. 1.1 billion people in the world are atheists, and there is  a comparable amount of hindus. In comparision to the religions  I have mentioned earlier , the buddism with 506 million believers  is very small . But the smallest of the five world  religions, is the Judaism with 15 million believers. The remainig 500 million people believe in other religions, for example in spiritualism or traditional religions from their ancestors. But the question is why, does people believe in something? I will answer this question on another day.

In the history of humanity, religion have change a lot. Some religions are not longer existing and other religions, are just legends, for example the nordic mythology. But how will religion develope in the future, and is religion something which will disappear? Many experts are arguing about this topic, and i will tell ypu some of their approachs.

The pew research center, for example, modelled the future of world's greatest religions, based on demographics and migration. They predicted, a modest increase in believers, from 84% of the worlds population today, to 87% in 2050. Muslims and christians would grow in number, while the number of people, who are unaffiliated with religion would decline slightly.
They said this, because they think, that religion will continue to grow, in economically and socially insecure places like much of sub-saharan Africa- and to decline where they are stable. This theory based on many studys, which says that people get more religious when there are problems in their life.

An important fact about the development of non believers , came from a study made by the university of Kent. They said, that people who are not believing in an religion, are not automatically believing in nothhing. They found out that three quarter of the atheists, are open to the existence of supernatural phenomena, in cluding everything, from astrology to supernatural beings and a life after death.

# data[].attributes.body
Another way in which religion could develope, is that religions get personalized for everybody, So still today many people have created their own religion based on other religions, For example, there are people who mixe the christianty with rituals from the druidism. This trend could lead to a society in which people believing in everything they want.

Today the big religion are at a point, where they must decide  what will happen to them in the next years . So some of the big religions try to modernise their system to be more attractive to younger people and to stop the people who leave their religion. Many experts believe that this is necessary to be relevant. But this process is very slow in many of the big religions, for example in the catholic church where some of the younger priests try to improve the system. but get stopped by the older ones.

But there are also some curios experiements , for example people who want to create their own god, by creating an artifical intelligence, or people who believe in the force from Star Wars.
