The sexual urge to is so compelling that dudes in the middle east will strap a bomb to their chest and jump out of a plane screaming ABLAHALBALHABLAHA because some powerful man TOLD THEM that they would get to fuck after they die.

Yes. I can see how having some structure in your belief system could be helpful in the process of dopamine procurement. To get dopamine, you must act with intention. To have intention, you must have an aim. A goal. How do you decide what to aim at? Strong leader tells you what “Good” is and you nod your head and sing the songs and do the dance and now you have an aim. It might not be a good aim, but a bad aim is probably better than no aim at all. i do't know.
