However, it is not only the fundamental existential
questions answered, some degree, for each human,
about the beginning and the end of life. Religion
plays a vital role embracing morality and hierarchical
structure within human societies. The perception
that a supreme being is watching us seems to
promote a more responsible or normative way of life
and hence by encouraging a responsible behavior is
facilitating the human coexistence within the society.
Religion is establishing a net of values, solidarity, a
network of trust between people. And encourage us
on being more sympathetic to those people that are
similar to us, that belong to the same group, or just
being human. Encourage our naturally tedentency
for solidarity as a characteristic of our emotional
intelligence, our predisposition to assist a person is
in need.

Religion pushes further our capacity to empathize with people in need and in the same way as art to
raise awareness for the need of solidarity, Art, and Science as religion items of a universal mechanism
connecting different societies the acting in the interest of humankind. Faith is so important that even
when the myths of our origin are violating the scientific findings, most people will continue to believe in
that religion, even if their myths of origin are accurate or consistent with our scientific knowledge.
Remember that while religion is an actor of morality within a society and act towards the social and
National Cohesion is the same Faith that sometimes fuels the worst of us like the act of War that
could be a war within a nation (civil war) or among some nations or in World Wide level. And that will
always be the case if the human nature remains unchanged thirsty for power and domination. And in
these cases, our oaths to the gods seems less important than the interest of the party or the family
bonds (Thucydides 428BCE)
Even if one day we accumulated the knowledge and the understanding about the brain functions we
allow to exercise control of the elements, that now are in the domain of chance and probability and
become the absolute masters of our destiny. This development would result from our faith in our
capacity to manipulate our existence. We may say that one way or another we're creatures of our
faith (Larhammar 2010).
Free Will
The foundation of human organization within the societies is the understanding that people have free
will that that year the actors and the owners of their actions. We suffer the effects of our actions
because will have individual responsibility. Consultations with our nature to our desire to master our
destiny and as a sub - product of this instinctive tendency is the cultivation of our free will capacity.
We have integrated the notion to our biblical texts since freewheel is fundamental according to major
religions for developing our spiritual, societal, ethical-moral development.
Not entirely in our conscious intellect, but we attempted to explain the actions of the conscious mind
within the context of liberal volition. The subconscious mind plays a critical part in the survival of our
sort. Subconscious Mind Is the portion of the mind that decides almost immediately by utilizing in
parallel and simultaneously different components of the human mentality and by reading the decision
that otherwise cost significant processing time and energy to be performed by the conscious intellect.
But even with that in these decisions, it looks that the conscious brain had a short window during
which may veto decisions taken by the unconscious head. That means that free will still applies even
when unconscious mind is in commission.
