An Atomic Understanding of Religion for the Atomic Age
Indeed, spiritual experimental science - religion - is not new, but it will return anew. The atomic age demands an atomic understanding of religion - a precise understanding that penetrates to the core of religion, unveiling its nucleus and unleashing its energy in a way that resounds louder than the detonation of physical atomic nuclei.
Religion has accompanied humanity's infancy through the depths of history with patience and compassion. It accommodated humanity's illusions and falsehoods, gently transitioning it from one coarse illusion to a more subtle one, and from one crude falsehood to a more refined one, step by step, until humanity outgrew its infancy.
Today, humanity stands in the tumultuous stage of adolescence, looking forward to adulthood and maturity. Religion now has a new role: to guide humanity through this anxious, uncertain, and turbulent phase of adolescence to usher it into the era of adulthood and completeness.
Since the difference between a child and an adult is vast, where the adult assumes responsibility for their actions while the child seeks protection from them, religion must now cease to rely on obscurities or demand blind submission as it did during the infancy of human intellect. Instead, religion must offer a comprehensive framework for life - one that speaks to the intellect, respects it, and seeks to convince it of the value of practicing this framework in the daily intricacies of life.
