The evolution of religion

The many vital things offered by the great religions were not replaced by modern skepticism and existentialism, and not replaced by the science of sociobiology alone, and not even by Raymond Cattell's noble attempt to combine science and religion (Beyondism). The great religions developed large and broad values and morals over long history which helped humanity literally survive as they sought God. These values were explained but largely rejected by modern developments in science and philosophy. The problem is that the great religions are so slow to change they can become stagnant before they change. This slowness has helped create order in humanity, but it is always threatened by impatient radical changes.

Modern skepticism, existentialism, science, sociobiology, and Beyondism generally rejected the great religions even if they brilliantly explained them, and this rejection tends to keep these modern fields from becoming a replacement for the large and broad sweep of the great religions, even if the modern motives were to try to save humanity from early destruction---but occasionally to try to advance one group over another.

Rather than rejecting the great religions, the Twofold Path in the religious philosophy of (TC) affirms the great religions in evolutionary sociobiology. The Inward Path to the virtual God Within of the great religions is carried forward in the Outward Path of material-supermaterial evolution to real Godhood. This also helps retain Ordered Evolution as we evolve toward Godhood. Order enhances evolution, positive culturo-genetic changes have time to succeed or fail without destroying the whole sacred adventure to Godhood, first begun by the great religions.  The task or the heroic mission is to develop a broad functioning religion from the religious philosophy of the TC.
