Jordan Peterson, Nicholas Nassim Taleb and other popular thinkers contend that even if gods don’t exist, we still need religion, because it evolved to protect us from harms we don’t understand. I wrote about why they are wrong.

Basically in order to debunk the secular case for religion, which is whar your article claims to do, you’d have to show how religion evolved, and how it is presently and definitively a byproduct and not an adaptation. Which your paper failed to do, even by your own account.

I provide numerous studies in the article which show that religion is not presently adaptive by any of the argued metrics.

Except your entire paper was about whether or not religion is presently adaptive or a byproduct. Which has nothing to do with whether or not god/zeus/yahweh exist.
