"What do you think is the essence of Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity... these forces?"

Facing the question raised by Xi Shenlian.

After thinking about it, Gu Yun Meiyazi replied uncertainly:

"Religion plus some philosophy?"

The reason why she gave such an answer was that in the past, the so-called religions on Earth, except for those inferior cults, most religions actually tended to spread certain ideas, thoughts, and philosophies... It was a bit like a large-scale philosophical academic organization, discussing human nature, society, civilization, and the future all day long...

Because, there, the so-called gods are essentially a group of ancient awakeners with considerable strength.

This is something that everyone knows.

Therefore, it is naturally difficult for pure religious ideas to gain a foothold on earth.

Although the awakened ones are rare.

But there are always a bunch of them.

If you don't combine it with some philosophical knowledge and just focus on some inexplicable personality cult, people will often regard it as some kind of pure crazy mess.

Mysterious power?

Born noble?

...What a piece of shit...

This made it natural for so-called religions on Earth in the past to evolve into large organizations that studied society, philosophy, morality, etc.

in.

The idea of ​​persuading people to be good also occupies an absolute advantage.

Compared to all kinds of radical things.

Intelligent life, especially those that like to live in groups, do prefer gentler things.

At this moment, Xi Shenlian quickly affirmed what Guyun Meiyako had said before.

"That's about it."

"And one of the most direct effects of both is increased recognition."

“Increasing one’s identification with the thought or existence of another.”

"To put it simply, it's classification. As thoughts, they can classify different individuals and separate out the guys who can serve as friendly forces."

"The more extreme religions can be seen as pure individual worship, but the essence of the matter has not changed. It still originates from a group of people's recognition of another person's thoughts and existence. It's just that they are more extreme. They have been brainwashed by the other party and believe wholeheartedly that the other party is right. This is what the so-called fanatics are like."

"Under normal circumstances, although these ideas and fanatical beliefs do play a significant role, they are more reflected in the cohesion of the group. They can bring together countless loose individuals to form a force with a common goal and direction, leading everyone towards the common goal. In rare cases, due to the special environment or the special individual, those illusory ideas, thoughts, and wills... will naturally evolve into a certain force..."

"Some kind of power that no longer stays at the level of consciousness..."

"That is the power that can truly influence the material world and manipulate everything in the world!"

"And that kind of power is often called the [power of faith], [the power of incense]... As for the guys who use that kind of power, most of the time they are called [gods]..."

"So, due to supply and demand, the so-called [gods] are, most of the time, supporters, initiators, and defenders of religions..."

"It is with their help that the so-called religion can achieve ultra-long-distance transmission across time and space..."

"Back then, the remnants of the Atlantis family still had some religious traces after being imprisoned. This was because they had been influenced by some religions and gods in the distant past. As time passed, those influences naturally appeared on Earth in a form similar to intergenerational inheritance..."

Having said that, after thinking for a moment, Xi Shenlian said directly: "To some extent, these religious ideas actually have a bit of the flavor of [meme virus]. Although the weak may not be directly affected after being exposed to them, there is still a probability that religious ideas will take root in their blood and can automatically take root and sprout under the right opportunity and conditions..."

Gu Yun Meiyazi frowned in confusion:

"[Memetic virus]?"

"Can it actually be spread through bloodline..."

Xi Shenlian explained calmly:

“Ideas have the power to spread.”

“The spread and influence of certain ideas are far stronger than ordinary ideas.”

"And the [memetic viruses] I mentioned refer to some extreme manifestations of related ideas..."

"For example, some religious ideas benefit from the manipulation of the gods behind the scenes and have the ability to spread through blood. The descendants of the infected will automatically believe in another individual, the gods behind the scenes, without any training or teaching, and this will continue from generation to generation..."

"So, since some Atlanteans naturally established Buddhism, Taoism, and Christianity under the influence of the memetic virus in the distant past... then as the younger generation, do we actually have that kind of thing in us as well?"

Having said that, Miyako Kogumo doesn't think that Rei Nishigami would allow such a thing.

She knew very well that her man was the kind of guy who only cared about himself.

That kind of thing simply cannot be allowed to happen.

As soon as she said this, the other people around her also turned their eyes over.

They were also somewhat interested in Xi Shenlian's words.

Moreover, that [memetic virus] also affected the [Atlantis survivors] who were still inside the [Ante Prison].

"In the past, you did have that kind of thing in you, but, how should I put it... that kind of thing is not necessarily as dangerous as bacteria. The seeds of thought are hidden things. They need various conditions to take root and sprout, such as compatibility, environment, and personnel..."

"Moreover, in the process of dissemination, religion, which is based on ideas, can easily become distorted and become something that even the gods behind the scenes cannot understand."

"After all, the same soil, the same water source, the same environment... can all produce people with different looks and personalities... Let alone those illusory thoughts."

“That’s exactly why.”

"The [End Empire], which controls the entire world, would allow those things to spread instead of completely destroying them."

"After all, those things are still somewhat inferior in this world."

"How should I put it..."

"Forehead……"

"The orthodoxy always lies with the Awakened..."

"The rest is just fancy, unorthodox knowledge and crooked ways after all..."
