>>101961596>Religion at its core is an authoritarian set of valuesNo imbecile. Religion is one of the first and most necessary institutions created by human civilization since it's inception. Idea of religious institution was to keep moral check on the society. To prevent decadence in civilization and to motivate people to do better, be better. Especially for low IQ retards like you that don't open history nor philosophy book.
>There's a big daddy figure,As opposed to what? Do you see how dysfunctional single mother families tend to be? What is wrong with having a strong father figure to guide you?
>and these guys that tell you what he wantsJust because you live in Muttland where there is 100000000 million of shity denomination of just Christianity where everyone arbitrarily interprets it does not mean there is not bible or Quran or Torah with basic rules that even a bitter retard like you cant understand.
>You do what they say, you give them money, and you don't ever ever question it.It goes like this: You are a retard that don't question your own position, you question what you deem wrong. That wrong stems from your past experiance, media influence and lack of education.
There are corrupt priest, yes. There are corrupt CEO so are all capitalist inherently bad? There are corrupt bureaucrats so are all state workers bad?
There are sour apples with every group, it's just that you chose to see an absurdly polarized picture so your fragile pathetic world view can stand on something even if it's delusion.
>And the ultimate goal is to suppress any competing daddy figures that might sway people away.Ultimate goal of every religion is peace. You can argue that it's just as impractical as communism and it is. The problem goes deper.
Religion is collective of people, collective of people is made of "n" amount of individuals. If two individuals from different collective clash it's enough to pull of entire collective. Same goes for culture, ethnicity, race...
