How would science be like today if religion never existed?

>Look mom, I'm fighting a strawman!

Bump

That's because literally everyone was religious. That doesn't mean religion was specifically relevant in advancing science.

[citation needed]

Well religion is great for sustaining societies. Even though most of the great Greek philosophers didn't quite get along with religion
If everyone else wasn't religious then society would fall into anarchy and scientists couldn't advance science. Religion was considered the source of morals

We would probably have made God in a lab somewhere.

Religion is mandatory for a working civilization
Because of religion, people have remained sane throughout the early years when human sentience first came to be. If they weren't, humanity would have died out by then before science was a thing

The only mandatory thing for a working civilization is agriculture. You're forcing religion to be what law and legislature is and was.

Sentient beings HAVE to make up things to understand how something works, Religion was just one way of doing that, till science became a thing.

Science is just a fukin update for religion, humans can't go through life without an understanding of how everything works. This is part of sentient physiology

>My answer to him was, "John, when people thought the earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the earth was spherical, they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together."

You need people to work together to conserve knowledge and pass to the next generation. That was the hardest part since everyone can't get into specialisation of work, everyone is busy with basic survival.

Before you get people to work together, you need law and order of a civilised group of people.

You need ethics before you start proposing law, the lowest standard of ethics.

Ethics is often derived from religion and culture within the group of people, often being the yardstick to gauge moral and ethics.

So yes, religion did provide as the main foundation of a civilised society to get people work together, as an example in Islam, the Prophet did ask Muslims, both man and women to seek for knowledge. I'm pretty sure the those who practice Abrahamic religion too asks them to seek knowledge.

Then psychology starts to overcome religion and question their authenticity and existence of God. We now just simply evolved from religion into a secular civilisation who slowly peeling off religion from our daily life into a more utilitarian theory of ethics and tangible psychological advancement we had progressed.

Without religion, you won't even have a stepping stone to get where we are now.

Nonexistent.

Religion and science are conceptually identical

>[citation needed]

We wouldn't have science if religion never existed. The same types of mental triggers that cause religion also cause the initial curiosity for science. There'd be no culture or society. No civilization at all. Keep in mind, religion in itself isn't the reason for civilization. It is the psychological aspects that give rise to religion & science that does it.

This

Wouldn't exist

You're daft if you think savage peoples used logic and reason to keep the earliest societies from falling apart when they got any bigger than what was needed to sustain themselves.

>anarchy means chaos
Propaganda works! Science falling into anarchy should be the best thing to ever happen to science
Science evolved out of the enlightenment period which was heavily influenced by religion, which evolved out of the Renaissance, which evolved ought of the Catholic scholastic period, which evolved ought of the ancient Greeks and early Christian philsophy, which evolved from Mesopotamian religions.
Religion was fundemental to the emergence of science, any other hypothetical timeline is pure malarkey.

>should say "oh no" in 3rd panel

The same really, Christians only killed scientist that contradicted the jewble, scientist who made contraptions like the printing press were overlooked since those were neutral.

Why?

There wouldn't be any. Religion was law for a very long time. The6only thing preventing people from murdering each other over petty matters was/is religion. It organizes societies.

This. It was the start of science. Like it or not. People trying to understand the world without access to any of the modern conveniences we have now to study it. And while "because God is punishing us" is a bit too simple of an answer for everything, science still falls back on shades of this as well. It's just supposed to contain the process to get out of it.
Religion:
>see people having butt sex and dying
>hmmm, god must hate gays
>don't do butt sex or go to hell
Science:
>People have butt sex and dye at greater rates
>hey, this microscope shows there is ecoli in this shit and there is a virus spread by blood contact
>wash your hands and wear a raincoat on your feller
So basically, the only reason science is preferred is that it allows for butt sex within certain operating parameters.
Why don't I have a kids show?

trying to imagine humanity without religion is an irrational concept, even the most fedora of fedorafag will have to admit that religion is a logical step between chaotic mysticism and the scientific method, its at least trying to make sense of things as opposed to disperse folk beliefs
