    Pessimistic me: human life is eradicated.

    Religion will likely always exist in at least some segment of the population. Even if it’s based on actual science; perhaps on mathematical law… There’s still going to be religion.

    When do private rituals and family customs become “religion”? Would lighting a candle in remembrance of the past year, and ascribing some private symbolism to that count? Would regular trips in search of solitude? What if I burn a fire in a similar ritual during that trip?

    What about family getting together? And always doing those annoying things like “say what you’re grateful for”?
