Im saying that the church started rumors of monsters like vampires and werewolfs etc. Meaning the use and belief of religion and holy water, sunlight of God and crosses etc. would be the only way to kill them. Which in turn Made people to understand that if you believed in a religion you would be safe... So thats how religion became just..
Just an opinion
What do you think???

Yes take vampires they only come out at night, they can only come into your house if invited the next day they both have hickies? They were created to scare people about non-comittled sex.

I don't believe that the church started werewolves stories .It was probably some writer who wanted to create a story just as we have many Hollywood scary movies. It is not about the church. They often use church things in them as it makes it seem more real.

Actually, belief in 'monsters' and such is much, much older than any organized religion. In fact, I would turn your hypothesis around and say religion was (in part) created to help people overcome their fear of 'things that go bump in the night'.
