Let's start with the basis of alien authorative belief of the value system:
>Past research has found a negative correlation between religiosity and paranormal ETI beliefs. We replicated this effect across a number of studies and also found that atheists are more likely to hold empirically-unsupported ETI beliefs than theists. So the big question is why? If atheists reject a belief in God, why would they, or at least some of them, believe that there are intelligent alien beings monitoring the lives of humans (these are the types of paranormal ETI beliefs we measured)? In this research we looked at the motive to perceive life as meaningful. We found support for a model in which low religiosity (and atheism) were associated with low perceptions of meaning and a high desire to find meaning (what is called search for meaning), and this desire for meaning in turn predicted ETI belief. In other words, people who were not getting meaning from religion were vulnerable to deficits in meaning and these deficits inclined them to search for non-traditional sources of meaning. Why ETI beliefs in particular? Part of the reason religion gives life meaning is it helps us feel connected to something bigger and more enduring, that we are not here by chance. ETI beliefs do not typically contain a traditional belief in a creator, but they do suggest that we are not alone in the universe. And intelligent aliens are often construed as agents watching over us. A lot of specific ETI beliefs involve being part of a cosmic brotherhood. And ETI beliefs seem, on the surface, more scientific as they do not typically invoke the supernatural. This makes them more palatable to atheists. However, the type of ETI beliefs we measured were more science fiction than science. They involved belief in advanced being monitoring humans as well as government conspiracies to hide evidence of UFOs from the public.

>Though this one paper was about ETI beliefs, more generally my lab is looking at a range of non-traditional beliefs that people may be attracted to or at least interested in exploring because they do not like conventional religion but are trying to be part of something more meaningful and enduring than the transient and fragile existence inherent in being a biological organism. People are even creating new techno-religions that take ideas from transhumanism and inject some dimensions of spirituality. It is fascinating how modern secular people are modifying and repurposing ideas from older spiritual practices to approach existential questions about death and meaning.
in summary, Religion gives life a meaning, a value. this value is usually in accordance with the community's System Value.

but why do religions exist?
>There are few empirical studies that distinguish between religious and non-religious themes and voice identities in verbal hallucinations experienced by those suffering a mental disorder. The research estimates of spiritual themes in verbal hallucinations in patients range from 12% to 26%, with substantial differences across cultures. Whereas one study in South Africa reported that 51.8% of verbal hallucinations were attributed to God, another study in Pakistan found that only 6% reported hearing voices they identified as God.

Researchers have begun to explore the mechanisms that underlie the phenomenon of hearing voices in healthy individuals versus people challenged with a disorder. One main feature that distinguishes the inner speech of normal thinking from the voice-hearing phenomenon seems to be the content of the message. Unlike inner speech, messages conveyed in hallucinatory voices are not recognized by the individual as characteristic of their own thinking. In people with psychotic disorders, the content of hallucinatory messages is often derogatory, involving accusations, commands, or abuse. The difference between such negative messaging and their own thought patterns might be one reason they believe the voices are generated by external agents, including ghosts or religious entities such as God or demons. The emotional appraisal of the voice might well trigger emotional responses, such as heightened anxiety, that can make further hallucinatory instances more likely. By contrast, healthy people usually report that the content of the voices is either quite mundane (e.g., hearing their name) or positive (giving comfort or encouragement). Healthy individuals rarely report that the voices cause them distress or dysfunction in their daily life. There are, in other words, significant differences in hearing voices experienced by people with a psychiatric disorder and those without

Could the disorder be caused by the negative thoughts, and not vice versa? Positive thoughts seem to be fair water for the brain to soak. But oft my mind be poison'd with nagging conscience, and brooding glares drill holes in my walls when full friends give spare remarks in my regard.

the disorder, some believe, to be caused by the return of our passed brain functions.
however, considering that some drugs activate such disorders to a certain degree to the predisposed minds, we should consider your argument as well.
>Positive thoughts seem to be fair water for the brain to soak.
seems so. I recall hearing a study that explains that when religious people 'with God', a zone in the brain that is related to friendship -i believe- activates (which would imply that the bicaremal mind evolve to maintain conversation and not cause one-sided statements) And talking to a good friend is good for the health and God is supposed to be good.
Then the Key is to maintain a good relationship with your own personal god rather than being dominate by the voices of strangers (the media, the state, the abrahams, the pagans).
we shouldn't let any of our components to be excessive (full hater, full lover, etc) as we would become slaves of our desires or/and Devils.
Religions, the States and the Media are nothing more than Fifth Columns. do not imitate their columnial ways
