that depends

organized religion is like any other system - it lives to perpetuate itself. its function is that of control in order to achieve this goal.

all true religion is personal and about self control. the truest religion concerns itself with others as much or more than with oneself.

the system of government and religion in this country makes bad behavior and bad intent necessary for survival. these things perpetuate those systems by giving them stuff to deal with. it is a self fulfilling prophecy.
