After all religion is man created and for control of mass of people. It was used for mass control of illiterate people and gave those educated the power. Hence the rules etc.
The Mytholgy had to included in it, because as they invaded the lands and then occupied them they basis had a pagan tune and they lived by the seasons of the land, this had their own myths and legends. They incorporated these within the catholic religion to make the bridging a conversion a little more believable. If that failed they then killed the hesitant ones off, and sent fear through the people.

You need to follow your true destiny. If you are happy with what your in, good for you. If you are searching then keep searching as the 'truth' will make the world different in many levels... that is if they let you without being ostracised.

So yes religion controls people, and churches reinforce the control. The governments are happy, as its dangerous to have free thinkers.

Yes. Religions all have the fundamentals of theology and mythology. Its like all myths begin from a fact. All religions care based on these central themes of human belief. While some religions may contort these themes, they are still there

NO... religions are just a group of greedy individuals who have no idea what they are practicing nor even believing in! Everyone who believes in religion are hypocrits to themselves. Religion drives people to be judgemental and the worse part about it is the fact that those who follow religions are no longer capable of living a full and joyful life because of the rules placed upon the life of those who follow! If you got lost in this let me know, cause religions SUCK!!!!!!!
