You know I like lions and crucifying, dude, but tell me in which day and age religions had a smaller power over people than in this day and age? Which history books you read?
They have always had great power,that's the root of the problem, playing on the fear of the unknown in people's minds they have enslaved them.
With the great advance that man has made in science and technology thanks to the effects of the 'enlightenment age',
isn't it incredible/unbelievable/ridiculous that people still take religions seriously?
The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.
