Any religion (since devotees will obviously consider it "true"😉
provides a way for the meek and humble to endure their lot
while the powerful and arrogant ruling classes enjoy this life.
Religion has [b]always been controlled and promulgated
by the rich and powerful to help keep the proles subdued.[/b]
False religion will propagate falsehoods / and some are meant to frighten people into taking shelter of ironically the very same people who have instigated the falsehood of fear in the first place.............the church.
Then when you are about to die on your death bed / the priest will be there and shall entice you to sign over your house and assets to the church / because this is a way to appease the angry God who might otherwise send you to hell.
True religion will not do this.
