Robin I.M. Dunbar
In short, it is difficult to see any convincing evidence for anything that will replace religion in human affairs. Religion is a deeply human trait. The content of religion will surely change over the longer term, but, for better or for worse, it is likely to remain with us.
Robin I.M. Dunbar, How Religion Evolved: And Why It Endures

Life without numbers is inconceivable for us. How else would we count objects, tell time, calculate prices, and so on? Our scientifically and technically advanced culture simply would not exist without numbers.
Andreas Nieder, A Brain for Numbers: The Biology of the Number Instinct
