Dreams
Sometimes we remember dreams. I personally I had few times I can remember my dreams. In my case if something which question my own experience I do remember. I had a recent dreamt where I dream where I had dialogue about the existence of God, my dilemma in the dream Darwin evolution from observation deduce natural selection. Even the detail how the natural selection mechanism occurred was discovered by Mendel. In the 20 Century the DNA work done by Watson, Crick and Rosalind Franklin, set foundation of Molecular biology, which show relation to the world around us, and the man made on the image of God vanished the image we share the same make organic material as the rest of the living things on this planet.
But whatever my dream have some validity or not my question why we are living in such world where religious fundamentalist has such impact as the Social movements of the 19 century and 20 century, whether Richard Dawkins reductions view God and Religion as a social behavior or not. I’m skeptical, to some of his reductions explanation, but his explanation about religion and how fits in the biology.
Dawkins explanation how religion evolved: For survival a younger will have an affinity to trust the experience of his elders since his elders had gone through the experience. For example if a little kid will like to put his finger socket his parents will say no, he may will have disgruntle acceptance, but in the end he will and eventually and he will understand the consequence of such action.
From that a thrust to advice and consent to that authority religion is born and does not depend whether the believed is monotheistic or polytheistic the appeal to the trust. When we reach the time where mortality we dealing with anxiety like death we will look into the certainty from that trust and the trust is base on authority we look upon the authority given by religion. Authority of power is built on the same experience thrust. Since the failure Socialism Utopias, which by them self are secular religion. Many Libertarians on the left where critical of this Utopias because they are base on a paternalistic advice they had in the roots authoritarian elements, eventually they are nightmares, the Soviet union of Stalin 20 Million death or Christian Socialisms (National Socialist Party of Germany which by the end of the war were not just 6 Million Jews, but Europe and the world the death on the Millions).
The original criticisms of inequality made by the Utopians has not change, because ins some way all the political systems are Authoritarians, of course some are more the others from beanie democratic system, to dictatorship of one individual or class, the consequence always will be same some one will be left behind and elite with all the privileges.
So today the new Utopias are base in religion, some are more political from Universal to nationalism in these categories we find: Islam, Judaism, some Christians revivals movements like Christian Protestant Fundamentalism or Catholic feudalism or from orient Burma even is not call is Buddhist dictatorship or India.
Some religions are more political like Islam or Judaism, which is not just about believe but away of life where social behavior need to be control, hence laws, hence political. But like previous Utopias the Authority the issue will be: they always suck the life of the society we just need to look into Iran, Saudi or any other religious Utopias. Eventually a rebellion, but the issue has been which values of Authority, the contraction we are made of the same biological material.

Append: Dawkins argument has some similarities mention in God and State by Bakunin. Where Bakunin question was direct about Authority is historical independent of the biological origins.
