    That’s the kind of thing I would expect someone to say if they formed an opinion about religion without ever really learning anything about any religions other than maybe the one they were raised with.

      I’m very familiar with several forms of Christianity, as well as some early Jewish traditions and a bit of Islam, and let’s not forget various forms of Eastern religions, and of course my favorite, Wicca and Paganism. Any time a religion formalizes and creates a hierarchy, it always leads to funneling money and power to the leaders.

        The majority of the religions you mentioned there are decentralized and don’t have a hierarchy. Yet you claimed religions are always invented with the sole purpose of controlling the masses.
