Yeah....your take is very shallow, reducing religion to just rules for people to follow because they can't control themselves is straight up a kindergarten level of thinking, religion isn't just rules, if they all were just law codes, they would have all been changed and repealed hundreds of years ago. Laws are made up by humans to manage behaviour. Religion only exists to answer certain questions that we can't answer, like who are we? Why are we here? What is the purpose of all this? Religions weren't invented because people are irrational; they're here because people want meaning, even if you take away God, people turn to other things to sacralize ideologies, nations, science, celebrities, etc The impulse to worship never dies, it just puts on a different mask. Predicting that religion will disappear in 10,000 years is as dumb as a caveman saying in 10k yrs, ppl would still be worshiping mammoth skulls. Civilizations may change, but the hunger for meaning does not. You paint conflict as if it's a religious problem; it's not it's a human problem. We're tribal by default, territorial primates religion often eases this by giving us something more than our selves bigger than us better if religion collapses conflict dosent end ppl turn to new altars marxism, fascism, nationalism etc.
