Maybe at one time religion served as a unifying and stabilizing influence but now that's long over.

Personally I think religion is the ultimate thief. It steals faith from individuals and then literally tries to sell it back to them. I think the largest group of victims of religion are their flock.

Could you elaborate more on how religion steals faith from its followers?
