The religion *is* the people who make up it's members.

The biggest problem with religion is it treats everyone as part of the mass, makes them all believe the same thing and effectively become one big easily manageable person.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>

I nearly didnt reply in thsi thread but this sentance here I really picked up on.

I think youve stumbles accross the primary purpose of so many aspects of society. In a society which is now becomming more secular, you could replace the word Religion in yoursentance with any aspect of society. Media, Education, Economy.

The fall of religion has led to new ways of controlling the people, thinkj about the brainwashing you receive from education, when your too ound to realise it, taught to accept authority and worek for little reward, Education teaches you to work for the rulling classes, much as Religion used to before people grew tired.

Poeopl are still controlled and brain washed, the means have simplky become moree subtle and complex. The powers are always keepping themselves a step ahaed.

Peace
