Is religion a tool to control people???

The atheist religion seeks to control people and their thinking. It postulates that everything is getting better all the time. Therefore change for the sake of change is always good. The result of this idea is social breakdown and societal collapse. Buddhism is a religion of the fates. If it happens to you it is because you screwed up if not in this life then in some life before. Islam is the religion of power. The strong man who is the tyrant is there because Allah willed him to be. Judaism is a closed club based on arcane rules and traditions. Christianity is based on the idea that we humans are failures but not forsaken. Yes we all sin and we sin continuously but God is on our side and wants to help us over come our problems. No God does not simply overrule us rather He gives us an option. We can accept His help or we can reject it. Should we reject His help we will be prone to believing in the atheist or Buddhist or Muslim or Jewish ideals which do not help mankind at all.
