Some religions definitely are a problem to mankind. All religion should be applicable to self, primarily, and never used to subdue or damage other people
Quoting: MarPep Agreed. Unfortunately, this is not the case in the vast majority. Religion, sits on many pillars or combinations of these: Control people Fulfill greedy wills Dominate over the most people as possible They can be summarized in "power hunger". The strategies used are "bully-ish" level. They dominate over people either by fear, guilt or greed, if not by combinations of these. The common folk is usually unable to distinguish the logical fallacies implied, so they buy into the lie without hesitance. Organized Christian religions sometimes do this, although they would not find grounds to do so in the teachings of Christ. Judaism and Islam are profoundly supremacist religions (even worse with the atheistic Judaism). The Sermon on the Mount and the Golden Rule show how a true Christian should respond to others. Religions which impose the necessity of control or domination of others should be considered ideologies, not true religion--at least in my mind's eye. I might be mistaken, but one of the very basic principles of christianity is to spread the word so everyone would know Christ. That only in Christ can mankind be good. This also sounds supremacist to me. Well if you won't let Christ (God) recreate your heart, then continue being evil. No one is forcing you to believe.
