all religions were written (or whatever you think) by some influential persons, who are dead long ago or in heaven/hell (what a joke)
In those days since most people were illiterates ( lack of knowledge of science and things like that), so rumours about wonder cures, miracles spread easily faster than the disease itself.
people (those days) were mainly simple (dependent on agriculture, animals etc, etc) so could be easily manupulated by influential persons( something like our present day politicians/leaders or gods)
they tought them how to live, and these people easily became their
soft preys, spreading their messages (guidebooks or whatever) for free. they became big brands (like coke)
or we all are psychologically weak , that we need a deadman's "how to guides" to live our lives. (there are lot of free self-help articles,stories out there)don't we know how to use our brains?(or trash your brains) please don't tell me rain, forest theories.why are we advertising fr free

Of course you can. You can dump religion or Bible truth in the dustbin and live like a freeman for a while. That's what a lot of people have been doing and will be doing. But the last laugh will be on the side of those who regard it as buried treasure and are willing to exchange it with all that they have on earth. They will live like free people forever. Or like a merchant who found a pearl of great price and sold everything he had to buy that pearl.
At the end, those who regard the grace of God as rubbish and put it in the dustbin, will become dust or ashes to function as fertelizer on the new earth to make even the desert bloom with roses.
Malachi 4:1-3
1 "Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire," says the LORD Almighty. "Not a root or a branch will be left to them. 2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. 3 Then you will trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things," says the LORD Almighty.

You are entitled to your opinion. It just ins't what I believe so I think I'll stick with my opinion, thank you. But it would be nice if you could tone down the insults a notch or two, please. Having faith is not necessarily indicative of lack of intelligence.
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the gospel of Jesus Christ."
Patrick Henry
We have staked the whole of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."
James Madison

Prov 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. KJV
True freedom is found in obedience to what God created us to be. That is, righteous and in fellowship with Him.
Bondage is found in disobedience to the way God set down for us to follow.
You want disease? You want an unhappy marriage? You want misery? Disregard the law of the Lord, sleep around, take up drinking liquor, take drugs, lie, cheat, steal, murder . . .
Gal 6:7-8
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption
KJV

God has blessed me so many times and I am alive through so many things that I should be dead from that God alone saved me from.
I choose to be free.
That's why I believe in God and follow His son, Jesus Christ who won our freedom from the devil.
The truth shall set you free.
You are enslaved to the devil and you don't even know it.
Poor thing, you are in for such a rude awakening.

Being a freeman also includes freedom of choice. Even if you and I would eschew such a path, the religious are free to choose their bondage, not so?

The time when I most feel free is when I'm swinging up and down from a coconut tree, because I'm an ape ape man I'm an ape ape man oh I'm an ape man.

Because faith in a humane God, is all that has saved man "kind", from being extinct.

What your saying is highly possible. But then again you could be wrong just as well.
