@mxchara @ariaflame @geekysteven I think it's more of a "leaders" are moved to tyranny and believers forced into piety and whatever the leaders tell them to do.
The more I think about it the more I see religion as a system people use to avoid to have to think too hard about life. And of course, some people will exploit that. Just like in the manosphere, if you look at it like that.
But that's my personal opinion, noone has to adhere.
