Having grown up in a scientific academic background in our teenage years, we were explained about most of the natural phenomenon that occur around us - using science. Yet, in the 21st Century today, we still believe in a "higher power", even though many brush off this idea, considering it to be irrational - especially because we have the scientific evidence for most occurrences in evolution and society. Today, our guest Mario Samanta (IG: @mariosamanta) shares his thoughts on why religion still exists in today's society - and whether external factors like tradition, community, purpose, and comfort in God have key influence on people in today's world.

We hope you enjoy it and stick around for future episodes! Feel free to give us some feedback on our email [email protected] or by sending us a DM on Instagram @thewhycoordinate.
