Only to those in charge. The followers are all sheep to be sheared

So many people are unhappy with life they hope the other side is better.

The only real positive ting religon gives to humans beings is a sense of community and belonging.

We evolved as social animals whose survival likelihood was increased by our belonging to groups. The need to belong is pretty much mostly hardwired into us as an animal instinct. Religion fulfills the need to belong, but at the costs of individuality and freedom of thought.

Indoctrination, manipulation, violence, hate, bloody massacres in the name of an imaginary being, fanaticism,.....

Level 2

Ignorance

Level 4

False feelings of security and superiority. They are both false....religion, control without proof and the biggest placebo there is or ever will be.

Level 7

A few things: a strong and supportive social structure; that alone keeps people in the ranks. Boundaries and answers for the weak-minded. Control for the strong.

Level 8

Complacency, anti-intellectualism, judgement, sex negativity, shame, false hope, fear, torture, war, dogma… and some good classical music.

Level 8

Violence.

Level 7

I honestly cannot think of one advantage to religion. I believe it clouds minds and causes division and hate.
