if humankind ever makes the leap to a space-faring species, i wonder what will religion be like?
what is the religion of a people born in space? you cant extinguish religion, it fills a gaping maw in the human 'makeup'. we need to feel connected to something deeper, more magnificent than ourselves. religion is the calcified artifact of spirituality. we require religion for a moral bearing, if spirituality is anchoring upon a distant teleological endpoint, be it a perfect unity, a dissolution of the self, a natural path (?), a technological transcendence, religion is the methodology that accretes along that viewpoint. it is structure, ritual, boundaries, seperateness from the without. it is exposition and definition of the 'conception'.
you cannot extinguish religion, it is a consequence, a by-product of us. religosity wanes, however, as competing orthodoxies are dismantled or fall apart under the weight of natural inconsistencies. there is no perfect atheist. their atheism becomes its own structure. the hedonist becomes their own imperfect god.
i would suspect that the spiritual yearning would be greater in a space-faring culture. the wide expanse of null space would trigger a voracious spiritual hunger. the enclosed reality of space-faring would give rise to an intense clanish or communal experience that would feed the construction of a religious structure. no other groups to provide resistance, feedback, or cross-polination of spiritual concepts. no outside restraints. a bacterial culture gone wild .
spirituality (a basic human need for the greater, the more magnificent, the deeper) kicks it off, then religion accretes around it, like a coral reef. religion defines the path to the divine (whether that be a perfect unity, a creative principle, a dissolution of the self (ala siddahartha) or even the myth that science will reveal the natural world - and what is 'outside' the path, the unbelievers, the hells of the weak, ignorant, or irrelevant. eventually religion becomes a moral regulation and a political authority - and the spiritual origin is lost, like flesh from a fossil.
O Santuário de Nossa Senhora da Peneda sobressai com a sua imponente escadaria em granito que conduz ao templo central, ladeada por estátuas representativas das virtudes cristãs. Com a montanha como pano de fundo, este local combina harmoniosamente a arquitetura religiosa com a grandiosidade da paisagem do Gerês, sendo um importante centro de peregrinação desde o século XVIII.

Assisi is a hill town in Umbria, in central Italy. It is the birthplace of St. Francis (1181-1226), one of the patron saints of Italy. The Basilica of San Francesco is an imposing 2-level church consecrated in 1253. The 13th-century frescoes depicting the life of Saint Francis have been attributed, among others, to Giotto and Cimabue. The crypt houses the stone sarcophagus of the saint.

As a human being we have two side.spiritual and animal side. What makes these children different from us?They have pure spiritual side and we dont.Think how much Impeccable we are when we were young and what about now.If you are spiritually rich then you dont need money and all that to make you happy,calm and relaxed. we should try to focus on our inner side rather than making our animal side stronger.

Azza El Siddique constructs muti-sensory environments that encourage reflection on spirituality , entropy and the ephemeral nature of experience. Informed by the ancient history of present-day Sudan , including Egyptian and Nubian mythology, the artist’s large-scale installations embody her curiosity about the ever-changing physical worlds unseen. Measure of One invites its own metamorphosis through an intersection of water, clay and steel. Water washes over unfired clay vessels at regular intervals, altering or entirely disintegrating their forms. The mixture of eroding clay and water joins a cyclical path of destruction and renewal, forming new shapes. These processes are girded within a spare steel structure that frames a space for visitors to pause and remember.
