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

@jefferson That is completely understandable. You don't have the ability to read and understand it because such ability has not been given to you. You need to be born from above in order to make sense of it. BTW I had the same problem when I was a teenager/young adult. I tried to read the Bible but it was little more than a jumble of meaningless words to me. I became born from above in my late 20s and not only could I read it and have it make sense it seemed like I could remember huge parts of it that I don't remember reading.
