Religion not only satisfies an individual’s desire to worship but also provides individual’s with a purpose for living and that bring people with a similar purpose,…

A study conducted in 2010 led by Paul Bloom at Yale University proves this. Babies from various age groups were to watch many scenarios acted out by puppets.
