Religion was made (as far as i can see),to change humanity to better,to use fear to control the stupid and violent people(to reward good and punish bad) ,to change them,so that we would all be kind to each other,we would respect other people we wouldn't kill others,we wont steal... and so on.
But where did it go wrong? Why did religion destroy humanity instead it would help them?
If you want to see the earliest form of religion go to southern France and take a look at the cave paintings. Religion simply started as an explanation for the unknown and something to give a person meaning to his or her life. And it would have been great if it would have stayed a personal decision on giving oneself meaning.
What went wrong was that it became organised and a political movement.
I personaly have absolutly no problem with people who chose faith as a personal way of giving oneself meaning. Or even if people find themselves together and organise a comunity.
It`s the claim of moral supiriority and it`s political mutation with which I have problems.
