States have used religion and are often driven by it, and incorporate it.
Religion isn’t just worship of an invisible creator, religions exist following men.
Power and the Human Condition are ultimately the cause. Religions, states, all the infrastructure and economy and common ideology… It serves to control the population and ensure power.
A state that co-ops religion or a state that tries to force secularism are still going to do what they’re going to do, it’s the people and their intents.
Religion, government… They’re all tools that can be used depending on the people in charge.
Do we need government? Go ahead and debate.
Do we need religion? I’m going to say no, change my mind.
Ah, so fuck off kindly is a much better way to use this.
