It's safe to say that MAN-made religion doesn't work? Yes!
Christendom (among others) Has Betrayed God & the Bible :
- Unbiblical Doctrines
- Ungodly Actions
- Not Christian [UNhuman!]
http://watchtower.org/library/pr/index.htm?article=article_04.htm
That's why God's agenda includes getting RID of it, in its Entirety.
The End of All False Religion Is Near!
- What Is False Religion?
- How Will It End?
- How Will You Be Affected?

Even when Not compared to those who belong to religion that Actually Teaches & Follows Actual BIBLE principles,
Manmade religions just Don't work.

Religion is used as a salve, to try to calm the fears of the fearful. People have always been lost and always will be. The weak, the fearful, the dogmatic, will cling to a religion to stifle their emptiness and fear of death and dying. Religions have never "worked". When I believed in a religion, I was weak and afraid. Now that I don't believe, I'm not afraid, of death or dying, or of eternal damnation. For that matter I don't think highly of eternal salvation either-don't think it's a party I'd be interested in attending.

Religion, is an ancient system, used to make individuals conform to whatever the privileged class in a particular society, felt that society's values and, morals, should be. it has no place in modern living, other than to comfort the weak and, desperate.
