I was going to add this line as this is one of my favorite quotes of all time and all so true.
Organized Religion keeps the masses in line and the oppressed remain oppressed as they seek the better life in the hereafter.
Once we finish discussing organized religion, the next question is: is there a God? This is a totally separate discussion from the merits of organized religion.
