A debate question is circulating among atheists and theists: if every holy book and religion disappeared along with all memories of them, would humanity eventually arrive at the same beliefs again? Responses are weighing whether religious faith is a natural human impulse or a product of cultural transmission, with atheists suggesting the answer would be no and believers arguing otherwise.
Why now: The question touches on a long-running debate about whether religious belief is innate to human nature or a cultural artifact, prompting argument between believers and atheists.
