You're partly right. Religion was invented as a method of control. That's why so many cultures have religions, independent of each other. All with their own system of morality.
Someone once said that the difference between a cult and a religion is that in a cult the person at the top knows it's not true, while in a religion that person is dead. I think it's an apt description of the differences between the two. You'll notice that no religion on earth seeks to enlighten anyone, but to control. There's a reason for that. Because that's it's intended purpose.

The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
