himself and then supposedly foisted a set of oppressive and in some cases arbitrary rules on them, which if broken would be met with unimaginable punishment.
This keeps the
followers in a continuing state of fear and compliance.
They are
afraid to question the intentions of this invisible being and they
are afraid of even expressing their own individuality in many cases.
Christians and others are taught that they have virtually no power
to do anything except pray, worship and do good deeds.
They are
taught to practice self denial and are told that their own will is
totally irrelevant. Religious followers believe that they are
yielding their will over to a benevolent cosmic individual who has
single-handedly created the whole universe and has their best
interests at heart when in fact they are handing over their will and
freedoms to hidden groups of religious elites for the elites own
personal gains.
It appears that religion must constantly degrade and humiliate its followers in order to glorify and elevate its god. Unfortunately many people appear eager to give away their power to authority and seem to have a need and even a desire to be ruled and disciplined by it.

Worshipping gods is futile and is nothing more than an ancient
primitive custom practiced by weak minded and superstitious people.
It has no place in the 21st century. The reason we have life in this
world is to experience life in this world, not to spend our entire
lives studying an old book, looking up to the sky and worshipping an
invisible ruler in another realm.
The main method by which Christians in particular are trapped and deceived is with the messiah or saviour story. This is linked to the 'original sin' story which is designed to impose a large amount of guilt onto the whole of humanity. The believers are then so grateful that they have been saved by the son of God nearly 2000 years before they were born that in some cases they abandon all reason, logic and good judgment to obey and worship this god and his son.

Anyone who
believes this story is indeed lost because to believe that a god
would send his only son to help us, only to see his son get tortured
and murdered, and then instead of unleashing all his wrath, simply
absolve us from all crimes past and present, is pure madness to say
the least.
Where is the lesson for us in that? What has been
achieved? There is no lesson or purpose because it's all about mass
psychological enslavement and disempowerment.
The so called god that we are expected to worship is undoubtedly just a dictator strawman concocted by the religious elites for the purpose of controlling the masses.

If there is a prime creator in
this universe then it is unlikely that he would interfere and impose
on us by foisting his arbitrary laws, let alone need and demand our
frivolous worship and blind obedience. Neither of those things
requires any level of mental aptitude or creativity. The
intelligence and skills that's been given to many has gone totally
to waste.
Many have lowered themselves to the pointless practice of
hero worship.
Furthermore, Christianity, Islam and a few other religions are polarized religions. They are polarized against each other. One is believed to be good and the other is seen as bad. The funny thing is, is that each one thinks that their's is good and the other's is bad. In most ways they're both bad. The only good kind of religion is a neutral and all loving one.

Polarized religions have been devised by
influential elite leaders to play the people off against each other.
That way the elite can defeat and enslave the population practically
without lifting a finger.
Religion is like a drug to some. And they need a 2000 year old hero to save them - from themselves that is!

The churches don't permit their followers to have any real truth and knowledge because that would empower the people too much so they spoon feed them kiddie stories, half truths, distortions and even lies and the followers value it highly even though they must spend the rest of their lives just making sense of it.
The irony is that religion is pretty much man made, so mankind has really brought this onto themselves.
The religious elites are not totally to blame because many people actually enjoy listening to mystical sounding stories, performing rituals, customs and traditions, playing polarity roles and dramas and waging battles against what they perceive to be a devil boogie man. They also have a secret fetish to be dominated and ruled with an iron fist by a supreme ruler or king.
After all these centuries people still haven't learned to take back their power and start taking responsibility for themselves .
