The Religious and The Box theory

Are we being controlled by the religions? As people keep trying to state the rightfulness of their religions, there is no reason to believe that they are not. However, they choose to follow our Gods and to learn bibles so generally, they choose to be controlled by their most respectful ones. Hence, they might be seen to be controlled by religions but they have their free will to choose to be so.       

In the psychological point of view, religions help people to simplify their lives, which specifically, through the Box theory. The Box theory, which I would like to call, states that we should spend a place in our mind, which is considered as a “box”, for limited amounts of questions of our lives like where we come from or what our purposes of lives are and try to answer them all. The Box theory helps us stay out of distraction when we think about too many or too few things in life. In religious people’s “boxes”, all questions are easily linked to the existence of god. By that way, they don’t have to think hard about the answers. But that doesn’t mean they are lackadaisical. In other words, they just simply answer some of their questions quicker than people who aren’t religious. They also have to give great consideration to their decisions in life. On the other hand, people who aren’t religious would likely to have more various answers to a question as they have no particular reliance, which asks them to be more open-minded than the religious.
