Religion is Opression

[Little Rik]

Religion is a tool, and I agree that two of its big uses are oppression and control. Two very ugly features.

The tool itself is not good or bad, it's entirely up to people what they do with it. As books though, horrible shit like the bible and the Quran are more like spiked baseball bats than shovels. They take a lot of modification to use positively. Like being softened with the pillow of secularism taped over it.

I put religions and atheism on the same despicable level.
When religions get the upper hand they cause enormous damage and
when materialism get the upper hand they also cause enormous damage
as we can see with communism before and capitalism now.
All these systems rely on exploitation so they are both evil.
