Is the religion a Brain Virus?

I firmly believe that the religion is a Brain virus without specific treatment.
The language evolved very early in evolution.
There are areas of the brain associated with language.
The language is hard wired to brain but religion is not.
There is no god center or religious or moral center for organizing multitude of religions.
It is believed that the second language is localized to the opposite side of the brain to that of the native language.
The form of the languages (phonological, syntactical and semantic are similar) is uniform but why not have them in the same side of the brain?
The answer is simple.


It is hard wired whereas religion has no hard wiring to any part of the brain.

 
With so many religions in existence it would be impossible to accommodate all the religions in the cortical surface of our brain.
Religion probably reside in the sub-cortical regions of where emotion plus or minus fear is generated in response to external inputs.
It is not internalized as with language.
But my real theory is that all religions act as Brain Viruses of incurable nature.
Once it enters the brain it never leaves.
That is the virulence of its behaviour.
I suppose I am not suggesting that we find a treatment for this mania.
Big No.
It is incurable.
We must not allow it to enter the brain in childhood where it stifles the creativity.
Arts and language stimulate creativity but religion stifles any creativity with its dogma.
This is the very reason there is intolerance built into both Christianity and Muslim religions. 


These statements does not reduce the beauty of colossal work of art and creations in the name of religion by Egyptians, Aztecs and Mayans. 

 
This disease of religion started spreading during the last 3000 years.
That is why I say it should not be included (safety for any religion) in the constitution.
The state and religion should be separate and there should not be any special status.
 

The language of course should have a special status especially the link language English.
