USA professor of philosophy praises religion as "a road-tested form of emotional management" that science cannot match

An interesting take from a USA professor of philosophy on need for religion in our times (in the West but which may apply to other parts of the world too, at least in part): What Religion Gives Us (That Science Can’t), https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/03/opinion/why-we-need-religion.html, 3rd June 2018, by Stephen T. Asma, professor of philosophy, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_T._Asma.

Asma writes, "Unlike previous secular tributes to religion that praise its ethical and civilizing function, I think we need religion because it is a road-tested form of emotional management".
