That’s what I don’t understand. How did religious beliefs become so powerful as to control governments?
Throughout history, there have been people that want what others want, or are power crazy. I can understand that.
But I don’t understand why/how one’s belief in God can be used so effectively to rally people behind them. To me, religion is just being used as a tool for this behavior.
Religion came first, LONG before government as we know it today.
