Religion is nothing more than the remnants of the old form of politics.
Current politics promote slavery under the concept of money for the acquisition of power.
Old politics (religion) promote slavery under the concept of hope for the acquisition of power.
They are the same... Just different concepts of currency.

not true, religion is not forced on anyone, where as people are forced to be a part of this corporate system.
how do you even equate the two? one can chose whether or not to practice religion, but one can't choose whether or not to be governed by amerika without extensive struggles such as moving out of the country and such..
this isn't apples to oranges, this is apples to bell peppers.

You have no idea how refreshing it is to see this kind of response.
You need a medal, a gold-star and applause and I wish you would create a thread :
"Religion is nothing more than the remnants of the old form of politics"
what a relief it is to see this kind of intelligence on ATS.

It's not true here, now. But it has been for centuries in the past. If you didn't believe, off with your head.
In certain areas of certain countries, it's basically like that. If you are not in the X religion of the place, people reject you or treat you with contempt.
The fundies, doesn't matter in which country they are, try to control politics. They are elected. They pass stupid control laws because of their religion.
Religion and their servants try to control everyone's behavior
The Church protects pedophiles. The church tells the people in Africa to not wear condom... leading millions to contract AIDS.
I won't even talk about the whole insanity that is Shariah law.
Organized religion is the second biggest problem on earth, just behind corporate greed.edit on 19-10-2011 by Vitchilo because: (no reason given)
