Religion attempts to teach you the best way to live in your slavery. Thus religion frees you more than not having religion.
Funny, devout believers are very poor and do not make decisions of their own lives ... just work hard to spread the word of God and the priests continue to increase their golds and lots of money
Where's the donation money?
That's why Spain, Portugal, and Italy have a bunch of empty churches. But the USA has growing churches, because the truth is preached there. The donations in the USA are mostly donations... not LDS, however.
EDIT: Thanks, btw, for your donations to humanitarian societies that actually help to feed starving kids.
