A number of history books i have read have suggested that religion was used as a method to control people. i.e. If you don't do what the bible and church say you will go to hell or be punished.

They also suggest that religion is one of the biggest money making businesses in the world. I have seen proof of this while browsing a God Channel and seeing videos selling £60. If they really wanted to save our souls shouldn't they sell them in HMV/Virgin for £5

I believe i could fabricate a story to make people feel better about their lives and the questions they can't answer.

Is religion still used as way controlling people with something missing in their lives?
