...I figure there's 2 main camps amongst conspiracy peeps.
...
1: religion is all one big conspiracy to control us.
2: religion is the truth and pretty much everything else is a big conspiracy to control us and turn us away from god.
... So what side do you fall on?
Try and help me keep count please!
1: religion is the conspiracy = 1
2: everything else is=0
If I'm forgetting a catagory please add it.

Religion can be seen as a amalgamation of ancient stories of man's emergence after the ice age. Though many of the stories of the bible may be true but their translation is most likely in error.
It is true that bad men have used and continue to use religion and other beliefs against its people, as a form of control. Should you dismiss religion altogether because of the people, no, do people practice religion properly? Probably no.
Dont be fooled either way. Listen to your self.

If religion is right then almost everything science has learned would have to be wrong. Atleast when concerning creation stories and flood myths.
If there's a kernel that's true, then why base whole life styles on it? And how could you ever know what's truth and what's editing? The logical one plus one answer is , that there are morals to the story but the super natural parts are just there version of marketing.
