Is religion a tool to control people???

Surely there is one god but why do we have to belong to a certain religion? Just be a good person don't burden yourself with belonging to a certain club because that's what religion is
Have faith , have hope respect yourself and others and that's it

Why do you say "surely there's a god" , unless you, yourself either doubt or know deep down there isn't one. I would agree though that religion is used to control people.

@LUCY344 If you believe there is one, why make a statement which casts doubt?

@LUCY344 Why? Do you have any evidence whatsoever to support that belief? And which god, and why that particular flavour?

Do you believe in Santa Claus? The tooth fairy? If not, why not?
