Social control, by those in power and to retain the power.

Yeah, right. Like you didn't vote for a candidate who was pro-life, anti-gay rights, pro-death penalty and pro-teaching-creationism - basically the guy who wanted to bring "god back in the government".
I vote just like you do, for the one who best represents my views, yet you try to make me look like a criminal, it's my right, given to me by the government to vote as I see best for this nation.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
