You are right. Religion is nothing more than a base form of mind control for the masses.

manipulated videos do not take any thing away from the point of the videos.
Any of us could go out today and buy aborted babies if we had the money.
They system is indeed decaying.
Really from when you could just kill natives and take their land, women couldn't vote, children had to work in coal mines and factories, slaves, blacks were lynched, witches burned,
Let's get some perspective here.
I say remove all the moderns and bring back the natives.

What do you mean when you say God? Does he have an image? Some people think God is a guy in the sky with a long beard who can read every thought thought people have. Is this the image of God you have? Or do people not have this image any more?

Well abrahamics do at least but pantheism, deism, animism and alike have existed for a long time.

Abrahemics do not have that by default, it's an artistic portrayal from centuries ago to depict someone long lived (not sure if that would actually mean anything to a deity, but never mind) and wise based on the cultural assumptions of the time.
Also so sad that your gripe about the videos is that they were edited into sections and therefore "manipulated". While you aren't technically wrong in that editing is manipulation of the original footage, you are wrong in trying to tie that editing somehow to the manipulation of the words the people spoke or their actions. Bazinga indeed my friend

Don't you realize religion is a conspiracy in itself. It's all about controlling the masses and leaders long ago learned that if you make people fear some all knowing God who will judge you one day and then claim it's God's will as to why you are King they will obey you.
Religion is for sheep.
You are right. Religion is nothing more than a base form of mind control for the masses.

Yet its influence on our laws and "morals" are probably the only thing that prevents someone from killing you for whatever reason they please.
People bring up natives but if it were not for religion I would not have a reason to care about natives in far corners of the earth. Why do you care about natives? (that is for anyone) if you don't believe life is specially endowed from a creator. Don't give me some humanist BS either or "feels". There is no legitimate reason (rooted in materialism) why you should have compassion for people outside of your own sphere without religion and it is probably contradictory to evolutionary imperatives to do so.

That probably equals less than half of the deaths from Marxist atheism just in the last century.

Are we just naming ways in which people have died? You should elaborate.
