1) A franchise, money-making machine based on god's word, the Bible.
Religious cults like Christianity, Catholicism, Buddhism, etc. each claim that god's word, which Bible is, belongs exclusively to them and their what they claim "god", when in reality re-ligious god is not different from an idol, material doll without any spiritual meaning. Word "religion" translated from Latin, literally means re-ligion, "upside down spirituality".
2) An institute of brainwashing and establishing control over the
people. It's done by projecting slave-master relationship and strict power hierarchy, like god is ABOVE and
people are his _slaves_. When in reality god is unknown. Unfathomable. He is NOT person or
human-like. So it's not even "he". Somehow from this idea it's projected that even nominally government _serves_ the
people, somehow government is corrupt and above
people in reality, and that's totally
fine, BECAUSE this is how GOD is.
That's why it's so important to support
one-god religions and claim that religions with more than one god are outdated.
1) Example:
-
Hey, I want to make some money off
people's fear of their inadequacy media instills in them.
- Why don't you invest in a Church, this business is greatly supported by the government in any country as it supplements the propaganda.
2) Example:
-
Hey, do you go to Church?
- Of course I do, it makes me feel good feeding my trauma-bond it constantly deepens making me feel guilty and forgiven by the government at the same time.
