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.
Quoting: MaybeTrollingU 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. Lets face it this way: I point a loaded and cocked gun to your head and ask: "Give me your money or I'll shoot. Its your choice". Is it really a choice? Will it be suicide if you don't give me the money and I shoot? What if I decide that its not enough money in case you give me and shoot anyway? Its the same thing with mafia. You run your business fine, I'll "protect you" from myself. Just give me money every month and I won't break your legs. Its your choice. Is it really a choice?
