Poll question: A question for Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Do you suppose God knows that religion is necessary for God to be known?

1. Your poll states that religion is necessary for God to be known
and asks if God knows that. Thus the responders would have to agree to the statement that religion is necessary for God to be known, if they participate in the poll.

3. Exactly. I know plenty of believers who think religion is
totally UNnecessary and only gets in the way of a truly religious experience.

In fact, religion has occasionally been defined as a defense against a religious experience.

4. Can't answer the poll but...
before organized religion, humans held spiritual beliefs and asked the same questions they do today--What is our purpose, What happens after death, etc...
