The nature of religion is based on an attempt to find an effective method to use in controlling society.

Control of the people, to sway the people, building a belief system, for humans belief is a power and it can be a powerful tool and religion calms the people, imagine a cow with a brain like ours, that would have to be scary for them. Or imagine the American Indians before they were visited by foreign lands, we are just animals with a brain, we can think whatever we wish or our brain is capable of

Well I am no sociologies what ever that is but religion means belief, even the devil believes and trembles James 2:19,20 so belief important as it is isn't enough, John 14:15 says "IF" you Love me keep my commandments, its really simple IF you BE-LIVE in Him [BE-LIVING the end of the road to belief] enough to keep His commandments [not suggestions] "THEN" you will love Him enough to be with Him in Heaven IF NOT then you won't, that is simple religion but to make it even simpler is this ALL OF THE BIBLE, ALL OF IT HUNG ON A CROSS CALLED CALVARY AND THE BIBLE POINTS TO ONE PERSON, THE SECOND MEMBER OF THE GODHEAD JESUS CHIRST, that is true worship in its purest, the bible the old testament points to the cross, the new testament points back to it, find out more free bible lessons www.itiswritten.com bible questions www.bibleinfo.com talk to me also wgr88@yahoo.com God bless you

Religion is Fallen Man seeking to apiece his god by works. Which is why many say Christianity isn't a religion, because in Christ God is seeking to reconcile fallen Man to Himself through His Son.
