35. Religion exists because of fear. It is in its best interest to
promote fear and uncertainty in order to recruit and retain members. Keep them scared and they'll keep coming to church. Keep them scared of those who aren't scared and you'll make them go to the voting booths.

Religion always has been and still is a powerful means of controlling the masses. The first segment of Zeitgeist - The Movie lays it out pretty well.
