Your religion serves you and your personal agenda.
All of us having been put on this earth without our on choosing, we tend to grasp on to ideas and ideologies that tend to invest themselves into our own best interest especially, religions.
In other words without your ego being built up by religions, you do things that you would not normally do, you may go out of your way for people to perceive you as being the type of person that you're not.
You may want people to perceive you as a kind, nice, generous person. Perhaps you are a nice, kind, generous person, but you may intentionally do things that other people will see you do in order to get praise.
You may even be motivated to do things that you think will earn you praise and recognition from a phantom savior called, Jesus.
Is that not what religions are all about? Looking for praise and in hopes looking for some form of earned recognition from an imaginary dead man named, Jesus?
Would not the first church that was ever built, would it have been built if it were not for some poor ignorant fool looking for some type of praise or reward from an imaginary savior?
What use would a church or mosque be for, except looking for some form of expected praise and recognition from a dead zombie savior called Jesus or Allah?
That's the reason so many people flock to a church on Sunday, it's not to get the latest scientific information, or to hear the local news, it's to get your much needed praise or pat on the back from a flying dead zombie called Jesus, because you've been told if you do not do as jesus would want you to do, then you are taking a chance with going to hell.
The first church built on American soil was to get recognition from a flying dead zombie called Jesus, there is no other reason for any church to be built and all churches are built by men who were told by the people that they trusted to tell them the truth, if they do not believe in a flying dead zombie called jesus, that they would go to hell, therefore all churches are built from the motivation of fear of hell.
Religions are built around the emotion of fear, all animals have the emotion of fear in them, and humans have invented religions to control people with their built-in emotion of fear.
If I can convince a person to believe certain things based upon the emotion of fear, then I can motivate them and easily control that person's actions and their money.
If I can convince many people to believe certain things based upon the emotion of fear, then I can easily motivate them and I can control those people's actions and their money.
The bottom line is that, the people who created religions knew that they could use the emotion of fear to control and motivate people's actions and their money using fear tactics.
