I have not done my research in a lonnnnggggg time to support my arguements, however I have found that many use religious icons with zeal for controlling the minds of the masses and mobs...

Tactics to forbid certain folks in doing things because a divine power could smite is one of the oldest tricks in the book. Just switch the dieties around and the epistemologies, and you have "mind control".

However, as a spiritual person, I do not find "religiousity" in and of itself oppressive, I find its power structure in religion inappropriately used. And based on my cultural heritage, one does not fool with the Universe--because it has a way of "reaping what is sown"... Or what comes around, goes around...

Look what happens to these vile folks that spew ugliness... Hitler commited suicide... Most of the Klansmen die lonely in a bad nursing home with no game and no teeth... And as far as Osama... Is he still alive and kicking for real--with his dialysis due to diabetes?

That's why evil just is not good, IMHO...

Or, there's a thin line between love and hate...

And don't hate, 'cuz it means you ain't gettin' any, or it ain't good. 'Cuz if you got some, and it was good--what reason wuld you have to hate???
