"All this can be done with or without using religion as a motivator."


                      LH - The way we see this differently is, I don't see religion as a motivator, I see religion as a way of grouping people. Race isn't going to work much longer, I don't think. Look at the growing number of people who consider themselves to be "mixed-race." And ethnicity has the same kinds of problems. It only seems to propel itself a few generations into the culture, and people cease to see themselves as Italians, Kenyan's, or Poles.
                      But religion is forever. As long as the controllers can group people into camps, they can divide and keep them at each other's throats, and control them.
                      All you have to do is outgrow religion, and you're well on your way to recovery.
