Abstract
ABSTRACT The expansion of modern scientism to the realm of consciousness has led many to assert that religion and religious thought are irrational and unnecessary, if not delusional and dangerous.

First, we claim that it is natural to humans to ask religious questions concerning the meaning and purpose of existence, why there is evil, and how we can find liberation and fulfillment. Second, we demonstrate that religions answer these questions through myths, relating our deepest concerns to the sacred.
