Render unto Caesar & the Fed what is Caesar's & the Fed's, how little things have change...All religions are conspiracies to start out with, when they catch on & create 1rst emerging frameworks much like an incorporation, the board meetings, then creating the more specific charter rules. It is then the following consipracy ensues, the selective histories & scribings, to play all the talking point /poll games to create the illusion of interpreting some supernatural "will" at work. And of course who gets to choose & enforce that set up group of interpretations & accepted histories. Christianity basically invented itself as it went along, that is so clear, the "one God" idea as i said a natural expedient progression theologically & simplification. (one central object of devotion far easier to build that framework around than many, same for politics & gov't, far easier to have one holy seat/center/see)
Especially useful for tribal Kings, Sultans, Caliphs & Emperors (and Obamas & Dubyas!) to appear alligned with that higher power, to effect the outcomes of other's imaginary future fates, get all to fall in line & we've seen plenty of that. Its basic psychology of the carrot, horse & cart, plus deep seated needs for continuance,belonging, more life, feeling alligned with higher powers, trust issues , security & abundance, acceptance & access.
Wheres you supernatural power though? See, it does not exist really, most can agree on basic principals of ethics, family,love, loyalty & balanced fairness & justice, these werent new ideas.
