I don't agree with your conspiracy theories of elites, but I do think that the fundamental purpose of any hierarchical religion is growth and control. It certainly isn't truth.
Please tell me, does it matter really that Newton had to be real, otherwise one ceases to believe in what is known as Newton's laws of motion?
On the other hand, if someone read what Jesus says on the Gospel and he didn't find any useful idea(s) to be aware of about life, he shouldn't see in Jesus a source of knowledge (this is why almost all Christians in the world also don't see in him a useful source of knowledge about life but a magical Savior instead).
In other words, if one believes, for example, that World Peace is possible to happen someday, then he has to also see in Jesus (real or mystic) an ignorant person who was clear that World Peace can never exist on earth.
Anyway, for your safety, try to always believe what your community is supposed to believe. After all, even if billions around the world will, by a miracle or magic, discover the hidden truths in the fairy tales made and broadcasted daily for adults, nothing in what was/is planned for them will change, at best. And I will gain nothing from disturbing your mind's peace while you think that all happenings in the world are natural or mere coincidences.
