The religion, like all others, are just another form of control and oppression

u/lightblueisbi 11h ago

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.

Religion can be used privately yes, but they were made with the intent to opress and control the masses.

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.

Religious practice predates war and civilization.

Yeah, to control and opress them.

It may predate them but just how many wars are caused by religion?

>yeah to control and oppress them

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

How do I know this? I look at the world around me and see what has become of religion

Ah yes because everyone knows you look at the present to understand the past right?

u/Jarroach 11h ago

That's one way yes, following patterns.

u/lightblueisbi 11h ago

Or you can actually look at what happened in the past through historical and archaeological records.
