25. Religion as Story

All religions serve the same function, they help people cope with the uncertainties of life and death. They explain the mysteries of the supernatural and the meaning of the soul. All religions define the place of humans in the cosmos and reinforce social and political values. Even the most exotic religious beliefs serve at least one of these universal functions.
