That is not completely true. The original ideas of religion (at least of which I know) are not based on controlling people but it can easily be abused to do so. Mainly because the true meaning of the word religion and believe somehow got lost and most people ARE uninformed and have very blurred and scary views on religion. |
Well it dictates what you can and cannot do (within reason usually) but ofc nowadays we have democracy to decide (on new laws for example). Hence I see Jesus as a dictator as well (although he seems some what communistic sometimes :s).
