I refer here to organised religion (eg, the Church) and NOT the inidividual followers, eg, the Christians. So please do not label me intolerant, uneducated or anything else along these lines.
Think of the evidence in support of this claim (note: the claim is not my own but was featured in a University campus publication). Religion of old was used to control the uneducated masses; obedience was born from a fear of hell and a longing for heaven. Money was given to the Church, and still is, on a regular basis. Rival religions are pushed out, gangland style, albiet on a much larger scale...
...the quote goes on, but I have compressed it here for easier viewing. I do not know what to make of it, what do you think?
