RE: They Game We Should’ve Never Played
That's a very good point. It's one of the reasons that religion isn't supported. Religion, or even just shared values can create community and bonds that help people unite. If we're all just lost sheep running around on our own, it's much easier to control us.
And if we spend our time hating on each other, we're too distracted to see what is happening in the big picture to actually make a difference.
You are right.
By religion you are not referring to the institutionalized religions, are you?
Because these are just another mean of oppression control. More so because they feed on a group energy.

Yeah, there are a lot of "institutionalized religions" that are more about power than anything else. It doesn't really matter the message as long as you can get people giving you their money and attention.
I was referring more to people who have belief systems based in freedom and community. You can think something like a house church or a free-associating society. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but I'm trying to say groups where people aren't forced or guilted into being part of the group.
When people feel safe and have a place they belong, it makes it more difficult to control or isolate them.
It's all very complicated, and yet simple. Yet much is hidden, so it's often difficult to see what is happening. At least on Steemit we have a place where we can talk about it. Can't do that on FB anymore.
