Is religion used to control people?

[*bfine32*]

The opening paragraph is quite profound and seems very promising.

Quote:Religion is a controversial topic, and I’d like to preface this article by saying that it is not my aim to belittle or diminish anyone’s beliefs. My problem is not with faith but with religion as an organization, which has been used as a means of control, to pit people against each other, and to incite terror and war. Religion in this context serves the purposes of many various global elitist agendas.

I'll read the rest when I have time to give it my full attention. Thanks for posting.
