In the name of religion

Fact
In Zoroastrianism, human beings are seen as having free will, and Zoroastrianism teaches that individuals must choose between truth and deceit.
An evolved Bain
Religion is not evidence of spiritual insight; it is evidence of a brain doing what it evolved to do in an environment it was never designed to understand. The same cognitive machinery that once kept humans alive now generates gods, spirits, and cosmic narratives. These ideas feel natural because they arise from natural processes.
