i would like to think that organized religion would have been discarded in the dustbin of history. unfortunately its claws are buried much too deep in the psyche of gullible followers, while reaping untold benefits for the opportunists who operate them.
Yes this is very true. Most religions want the people to remain poor and uneducated because they will be easier to oppress and manipulate. What kind of people are those who spread the word of god supposedly but are really opportunists that only use the people for money and influence. They are the same as the people running the government.
