To Be Clear and Nonobvious

Practicing religion is understood to have had a social contract or being in a social setting in which nonrational thoughts are presented and accepted by the group. It is used to explain what cannot by the individual looking for the answer. However wrong, acceptance is truth. And, if the non-obvious gray area, such that Randall Collins suggests, is believed for a continuous amount of time than the person is so apathetic about politics or society in general. How so are they? Well according to en.wikipedia.org Albert Einstein believed in God, transcending religion as a social obedience, but at the same time holding an agnostic view. To conclude, there is or was no grey area in a limited human mind, or at least that was reported. Here, the conversation with Hubertus brings up that point. The only tell sign of doubt is a letter, a response in which he says, "It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated." Proving this, there is no explanation for the basis of religion and the practice results in social behavior.

I definitely recommend reading at least the first four pages of chapter 2 before you decide you are satisfied with this response as it doesn't resemble what is in the text nor does it answer the question very well.
