The wealthy for millenia have known the "uneducated" are easily manipulated to work for nothing to stay alive. Kings, monarchs, most "religions" know that their wealth grows when they control through fear & punishment. Being unable to read or question why an "owner/god" is punishing them allows the "owner/god" to keep them under their iron fist. Education is the beginning of freedom. the "existance" of "hell" alone has reaped much gold.
Spot on!!! I was raised Catholic, but was never a believer beyond the age of seven or eight. The best explanation I’ve ever heard for organized religion and God is “God didn’t create man, man created God to control the masses and to control women”! I would march beside you to protect your right to practice your religion, even though I’m an atheist. All I ask is that you never try to pass laws for the population based on your religious beliefs. I respect everyone’s rights to worship in any way they choose or to not worship at all. Just don’t try to pass laws based on anyone’s individual religious belief! State religion has no place in a Democratic society!
Lapsed Roman Catholic here... the church lost me @ 12yo after they wouldn't allow my mom & I to attend mass because she was divorced , you cannot make this crap up... it was disgusting
My mother gave premature birth to twins. One was stillborn, the other died shortly after birth. The Church allowed burial in the church cemetery for only the live birth baby who had been immediately baptized. The other was buried outside the fence. Original sin and all that nonsense.

That’s beyond horrible! I wouldn’t have buried either child in that horrible place! I’m so sorry for you and your family…
Heartbreaking...it still prevails... What the hell century do we live in?
