The Evolution of Religions
It's a law of evolution: Those that can't change with the times won't survive. This includes religions, which seem to most of us to be the most immutable of our institutions. Yet, at one point, Catholic priests weren't celibate and Muslims couldn't use radios or telephones. Copernicus suffered the wrath of the Church when he said the sun, and not Earth, was the center of the universe, and Gandhi used the British attitude toward Indians to explain the injustice of looking down on a class called the Untouchables. So how does a religion change and bring its adherents with it?: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-22250412
