Hmm, after thought: political ideologies do the same. But is this ideal? Is there a black and white answer for humanity and will it make us happy?
Religions had the intent of explaining the unexplainable. The first religions obviiously were worshipping the sun and the moon. They never had any intentions in my book, but evolved into opressive instruments the farther they developed. Any given priesthood had a vital interest in in furthering their status and ultimately their wealth. Before the so called Abrahamic religions cropped up you can observe this in ancient egypt.
Political ideologies are pretty much the same. They actually took their lessons from religion.
Black and white will never make us happy. If we think only in black and white categories we will always exclude others that don't conform with any presupposed image.
