      We never really needed it, it arose naturally when people began to question the nature of their reality and other people realized they can gain political power by giving them “answers”.

        Religon was kind of a law enforcement system before governments could properly setup formal law enforcement.

        It’s a way to make communities self police.

        These days, organized religion is a dangerous tool sitting around for random con men to pick up and weild.

      Also, right-wing parties will lose all future elections because they are dying out of old age… for real this time.

      And Gazans were living the best time of their life when the other side of the uniparty was in control… for real!

        Ah yes, we have finally discovered the only human being that is immune from politics™ . If only we could all achieve the level of enlightenment that you have.

      no longer needs

      ✅ Shouldn’t need.

      I agree with you however it sadly is a self perpetuating cycle fueled by those who look to gain and those who accept exploitation of the working class regardless of whether it is knowingly or unknowingly.
