The irony is that religions out there with different tenets to the mass consumed secularist "mainstream" can shatter these brainwashing elements and help people to think for themselves.

I am dying to hear examples of this considering most of the major religions don't teach how to think, they tell you what to think.

I was looking for a jpg of mortal kombat to show my approval of the closing statement as I am prone to doing.
Instead... I found something so horrific, something so sick and disturbing I couldn't stop laughing. After wrestling with the morale implications and nearly dying from hysterical laughter I decided that the decision to view this image should be up to the people reading this thereby absolving me of responsibility:

lol Did you see it? When I saw it my jaw just dropped. I'm not sure where it was taken from but it looks like a really messed up Japanese game show.

It's a pity they'll probably put down the dog. And the guy. Because that's the world we live in.

Nah, the guy gets ten years in prison for not fighting hard enough. The dog gets euthanized.

Kratos, what you fail to understand is that without society, there would be no religion, or even science. Society exists, it is an irrefutable fact, you just have to look at the definition:

An organized group of persons associated together for religious, benevolent, cultural, scientific, political, patriotic, or other purposes.

Yes there are societies but not society.
A nation or nations can not be defined as a "society".
A society has to have a name as the organised group lets say "The society of clay pot worshippers".

Again, look at the definition. I think it would be safe to say a nation counts as a group of people associated together for political and cultural, and often religious reasons.

You have drawn a very long bow there. Can you really say a nation is an organised group of people that are all associates of each other? I think a nation would be better defined as a designated portion of land held together with an army a corrupt government and a police state. A big prison comes to mind where you need to have a passport to get out and visas to get past the screws of another big prison.
