Religion Stuck Still It's Believers Progress

Religion existed before education 
it was the one source of information
the one guiding light of inspiration 
providing the only answers to question 

Through evolution our knowledge has grown 
yet it still provides wisdom, beneficial when known, 
but it also holds a primitive ideology of old 
impressed in the present because the past took a hold, 
inevitably it's legacy gifts a legitimacy 
that without wouldn't exist if it began this century 
there are aspects relatable to middle aged brutality 
from an alien world nothing like our present day reality
with inequality and control which protects insecurity 
also exclusion that in todays world is wrong morally
holding humanity to beliefs of a former age and majority 
long before our present day liberal freedoms and prosperity 
it was a present in the past but now lacks intellectual property 
we shouldn't base beliefs on a past when we knew less 
a once uniting knowledge now way passed its best 
that may become relevant when we finally rest 
a belief system stuck while its believers progress
