95% of humans are religious and 90% are theistic.Wiki wrote:Physiological needs
Physiological needs are the physical requirements for human survival. If these requirements are not met, the human body cannot function properly and will ultimately fail. Physiological needs are thought to be the most important; they should be met first. This is the first and basic need on the hierarchy of needs. Without them, the other needs cannot follow up
Physiological needs include:
Air (Breathing)
Water
Food
Sexual instinct
Sleep
Clothing
Shelter
Which level[s] should we place religions and theism?
I believe we should expand Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs with one level at the bottom most and label it 'Existential Needs' i.e. the need for basic survival and the need to cope with the existential crisis. This primary need will then permeates upward to influence the other levels in various degrees.
