The Educational Concept of the Origin of Religion. The representative is the Frenchman Paul Holbach. According to his concept, religion arises for three reasons. It's fear, ignorance and deception. As I pondered this concept, I thought: what is the popularity of the famous Gaidayev trinity Coward, Balbes and Experienced? After all, this is the enlightenment concept of the emergence of religion. Coward - all afraid, Balbes - does not know anything, and Experienced - he will not spend on the pulp. He leads the whole trio, and without him there is no reasonable way out of a difficult situation.

The words "morality" and "spirituality" have been used so often in recent years that they are no longer noticed. However, these terms do reflect the essence of the problems facing modern society, and therefore it is worth understanding them a little.
The self-evidentity of the concept of "spirituality" suggests that it is an innate property of human nature. And the fact that the word "spirituality" is formed from the word "spirit" suggests that the spirit itself living in us makes it possible to intuitively understand itself.
... direct self-perception forces us to the fact that not only thought, but also other properties of the human personality are the essential features of the human being - this is the free will of man, and his active, creative nature, and the ability of sensual, emotional perception of himself and the world. Only all this in the complex leaves what we call the word "spirit" and what characterizes a spiritual person.

Spiritual life arises before and before our mind, in depths inaccessible to our limited gaze. Freud would say that in the subconscious. Where is the image of our divine nature. This is called the heart. Therefore, the basis of religious consciousness lies in the human heart.
