Has religion solved anything?

[patrice]

63. I'm not certain that "certainty" isn't really just more a trait of U.S. "Christianity" than it is of

at least some other religions in which mystery is more of an essential trait, e.g. Hinduism and its distillations, Buddhism/Zen Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism.

Certainty is outright blasphemy, who besides the USA has that kind of pride? I hear that Islam does, but I also hear that a significant number of Muslims regard jihad to be a very intimate personal struggle with one's self to live according to the teachings of the Prophet. So which one Christianity or Islam has the higher proportion of "the uncertain"?

BTW, some people want Science to deliver that level of certainty that they need, a violation no less essential to the nature of rational empiricism than it is to the nature of whatever might be "divine" and, thus, the putative object of religious modalities.
