Was religion created to keep the peasants in line?

Probably. Most of it is basically crowd control. Whenever I see people with obvious religions ornaments or clothing, whether it's a special hat, or a full head covering, or a red dot on their forehead, it reminds me of the way farmers tag cattle.

@mrgreeen: having said that, I'm not entirely against religion. Religions tend to be divisive sets of rules, but within a religion it can help people live in peace with one another. I'm old enough to realize some people are just so lacking in common sense that blind fear of a magic god might be the most foolproof way to keep them in control. Religion is basically Santa for adults... be good and you'll be rewarded.

The fear of God kept them in line

@mrgreeen: could have been that they were told since they were children that life is a pile of steaming shit but if you eat it all with a big smile like a good little slave then you get to go to heaven and continue to serve your betters for the rest of eternity.

In my view it was created by control freaks in the Vatican

No Religion is better than another, they are all equally full of lies

@mrgreeen: Of Course , Consider the Bible itself , It is loaded with a Mass of contradictions between the old testament and the new testament
