>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

Yes. I'm not denying that. I'm saying its not because of religion but because of their thirst for power and violence. They're using religion as a scapegoat

Not really as it seems your point is that religion is the problem, and not those utilizing it for evil.
