That's the shittiest part about it. Had religion not been used to oppress or turn a profit and stuck to uniting people, you wouldn't have so many folks bucking it. Hell, as many people have said - Christianity is currently the most popular religion. Imagine the good that the Church could do if they actually practiced what Jesus taught. World hunger would be a thing of the past. People wouldn't be terrified to be true to themselves.
Sadly, that'll never happen. Helping folks ain't as profitable as terrorizing and oppressing them.
