Is Religion a tool?
#21
RE: Is Religion a tool?
Well in countries like USA it is an indoctrination from the parents to the children, they are usually not given a choice, the parents believe it so they pass it on. I'm sure all those teen in the above pictures just didn't pick up a bible and go "WOW this explain everything about life!". In the US we still have elected officials quoting bible in reference to pieces of legislation and controversy.
Global warming is not real because God said he would never flood the world again. Elected GOP congressman. SO hell yes religion is a tool at its core, it may have no been designed to be that way, but it did evolve into that. I would call it more of a device to control the ignorant.
