Religion in a sense is a form of mass control. Get a bunch of people believing the same thing and you have a uniform ideology born. People have a way to resolve problems, a uniform way to get around the usual problems in life, like getting married, resolving fueds and so on and so forth.
To me, religion in text and its pure form, is a peace loving way for people to get along harmoniously.
However, throughout most of human history religion has caused more problems I would argue than peace. It gave a reason for people to say they are from this certain religion, who's views and beliefs trump another persons religion. Mine is better than yours. Mine is the truth. Mine is right.
But all religions teach tolerance, compassion, and love to other humans. We seem to forget that in modern day religion. Religion has been manipulated to fit agenda's, to justify killing and hate and have diverted completely from the original and pure form of religion.
