quote:
When discussing evolution we should also look at the evolution of religion over time.
Biological evolution is a gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form. The general meaning of evolution is the gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex form.
I don't think either of these definitions apply to religion. The better word, I think, to describe religion is change: The act or instance of making or becoming different. If anything, religion has become less complex as polytheism has changed to predominantly monotheism.
