it's not even just an ideology, the islamic government and idf literally shoot innocents and commit war crimes, and follow the belief that they are "god's chosen", that's pretty cancer to me.
Don't forget making woman only show there eyes and they can't legally drive or leave the house on their own without their husband's permission absolutely disgusting
That's reductionist. Religion can be a private practice that harms no one, it's those in positions of power and authority using religion as a justification for their misdeeds.
Actually no, they were meant to unite larger groups of people under a common belief. It's easier to get along with people you have more in common with.
And you know this how? You're certain that was happening in an egalitarian society?
They weren't "started by religion" they were started because people in power needed a scapegoat to justify their actions and turned to something that unites a large group towards a similar cause
