Many people talk about a non-Christian religion
being “evil” or “Satanic”, or a “false religion”.
In reality, what would constitute a “false
religion”, a religion that spreads untruths and
“evil”?
Let us look at this logically, setting aside all
religious texts. Presumably a false religion
would need to suppress any other religion,
especially one that could beat it in popularity.
Beliefs other than the false religion would
pose a huge threat to the unimpeded spread
of the false religion.
The spread of the false religion would have to
be ruthless. Those responsible for spreading
the religion would need to ensure that people
converted or were silenced—to leave a large
number of unconverted people could cause
problems as alternate views are expressed
and spread, possibly pulling people away
from the false religion.

Followers would need to be discouraged from
seeking answers independently, and should
only follow what they are told. They should
believe blindly what they are told is the truth,
and should be encouraged to defend these
views, to the death if necessary.
Followers must spread the message of the
false religion and encourage others to convert
and follow their belief only. Threats of pain or
suffering may be used to convince people that
they have very little choice but to follow the
false religion. Followers would be encouraged
to actively spread the false religion and
promote it as widely as possible, encouraging
others to convert and explaining the penalties
they will suffer if they fail to follow the right
path.
Great wealth would need to be gathered in
the name of the false religion. Laws would
need to be influenced so that people not following
the religion would still be forced to
follow its beliefs.
