There sims to be a relationship between religious beliefs, or in general the supernatural and any kind of superstitions to the degrading state of affairs of our society. That mental condition is for many individuals a constant barrier to reasoning and common sense. Religious authorities, political figures, and some elected officials, are taking advantage of the ignorant masses, making as all victims of their ambitions.
Just some venting.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.it's well known that religion, while not necessarily developed for the purpose of controlling the masses (it existed before there were masses!) is very useful and much used for that purpose. the more superstitious (and gullible) you are, the more likely you are to buy into this.

Organized religion rose from supernatural beliefs. Politicians have since time immortal have used religion to control masses of people. Even today, 500 million people on Earth still believe in some sort of Nativism.
