This relationship has made religions agents re-sponsible for the greatest massacres in history. The exercise of reason, doubt and criticism has led to the development of philosophy and science, often in opposition to religions. However, on the one hand, the mental causes of the temptation to resort to religion reside in each human being and are reinforced by social conditions; on the other hand the thirst for power and the instrumentation of religious fact create obstacles to the flourishing of humanity. The solutions lie in the conjunction of a massive diffusion of knowledge and a proactive sharing of resources. Éditeur : ISTE OpenScience
