Is the problem religion, or how it is abused?

Jesus was all peace, love and turn the other cheek, except when it came to the moneychangers and that's when they crucified him.

When Gnostic Christianity was displaced by the Catholic Church, the revolution was co-opted.

The fact is, the larger the crowd, the lower the common denominator. So large religions are far more about indoctrination than enlightenment.
