15 April 2022 at 03:39. Does the ecology affect where a religion spreads?
When I was around 30 years old, I travelled to the ‘border’ between Christianity and Islam in Central Asia in trying to get an answer to this question. To understand the impact of ecology on religion, try to imagine if it’s possible to prohibit alcohol if the weather is cold, while if it’s possible to prohibit Vodka in Russia due to the demand of Islam, while if you live in a desert, like in Saudi Arabia, then it may be a good idea to not drink alcohol when the temperature 40 celsius. If you live in an area without enough rain yet with many people to feed, like in India, then it will be a good idea to keep the cows for milk rather than to eat them - 'holy cow'. If you live in Europe with plenty of natural plants for food, then there is no problem if you have pigs that eat the same food that you eat, but if you live in the Middle East, then it will be better to prohibit eating pigs while allowing eating cows to keep the plants for humans because cows eat only grass and not human food like pigs. Today, in the 21 century, this explanation seems simple for understanding, but in the 10th century, for example, most humans did not even read, so they lacked the ability to understand sophisticated explanations, thereby, giving instructions via religion seems like a good solution to create social order under specific ecological conditions. If we look at the global map of religions, then it indicates the important role of the ecology where religion spreads based on the rules of the religion.
