Man is a weak creature

Man's powerlessness before nature, force and authority gave rise to faith in God, in the devil, Satan, the devil, in power, in priests and shamans, in religion, in the leader and in the collective.

From time immemorial, the authorities have made excellent use of this, constantly complicating the structure of power, limiting the education of the population and fighting dissent, resorting to theatrical public actions.

When faith in its development lagged behind reality, the authorities forcibly changed it to a more developed one, and many people - adherents of the old faith - always died. At the same time, faith gradually gave way to religion, which sought to dot the i’s in everything: to introduce a kind of code of human behavior in all cases of life, a kind of moral code that clearly prescribed what was considered “good” and what was considered “bad.” ", who to protect, who to expel or kill. Human sacrifices began to be replaced by animal sacrifices, then gifts to the church and alms to the poor, the construction of temples and the purchase of indulgences.

Everyone was required to obey the authorities, patience, faith in the afterlife, in heaven and hell, and loyalty to religion.

This is how people have been taught for centuries to believe in something, taught by force, suppressing non-believers.

Everything went on like this for centuries, until mature capitalism arose, the state became not religious, but secular. But problems arose.

Religious states developed a violent system of population control. It was and still is the most effective system in the world. But this system hampered the development of the country. It was necessary to replace it with a more acceptable and progressive one. The bankers proposed a “monetary-capitalist” approach. Its essence: “to provide the most active part of the population with the opportunity for unlimited personal enrichment.” The authorities agreed.

But this system was less effective in ensuring the obedience of the population. We had to keep the violent system in reserve.

Countries had several religions. It would be a mistake to give preference to any one and make it state. Therefore, bankers came up with a state religion. Here is its essence: the state guarantees the inviolability of private property, heaven on earth immediately upon the use by everyone of equal opportunities for personal enrichment in proportion to the amount of money everyone has. Hell, hell and the devil are abolished, instead of God there is a dollar or other currency.

The communists went a little further: everything is common, state property, that is, public, heaven on earth - according to the construction of communism - “according to everyone’s needs”, all religions and the afterlife are abolished, everyone must work and overcome difficulties with joy and songs.

The authorities of all states cannot rule without religion. This is why Russia has been in a hole for so many years - no one can come up with a state religion for it that the population would accept. There is no religion, no people - there is a population that has no common goal.
