Why? Religion is a made up thing by humans to control others. This 100% tracks with religion, a thing we no longer need in the world. A thing massively abused by the corrupt. Religion is a shell for criminals, even pedophiles flock to the church because it shields them from accountability

I agree with this 100%, but your small town church where people gather for an hour on sunday is a different thing than these arena-scale productions that aim to dominate their member's votes and bank accounts far more than any other presumed higher purpose.
