Leaving aside those who dont believe in any religion most of the Global population is aligned to 4 or 5 religions mainly based on continents or group of coutries or pursue some kind of mythology or dictats. What makes a man to be fanatic ?
My question is why does a man needs to be attached to a religion ? A new cult started by individuals in India in different names of baba , or swami, or some mata, or bhakti cult , or persons like guru have vast followings.
Why does a man go out to look for solace in religion or guru or yoga or religious places of worship ? What is the psychological reason to look for happiness in others approval of oneself ?
Why does a man look for solace in some kind of religious preachings instead of confining himself to ideals and ideas of self .
