RE: Government is Just Another Cult
The way I see it many religions have been introduced just so that we will have less of a problem with the idea of government.

Do you think that governments have also supported religions that pacify its people? Christians used to be persecuted by the Romans, but then it was all of a sudden supported by Rome and the Roman Catholic Church emerged. Why do you think that is?
This is what I am suggesting. It is very apparent in the case of Christianity, how similar the structure is to that of government. If we make children get used to the idea of a big man, who knows better, making the calls, they will have a very hard time as grown ups challenging that because that is all they know.
Remember that there is a big chance that the figure of Jesus is a Roman invention. The representative of god on earth, just like the pope or politicians. It helps ground the idea that a little man is "chosen" to convey the big man's desires, takes responsibility away from the little man because they too are just supposedly doing what they are told.
Just like there are consequences to not doing what politicians tell you, even if the consequences are created by these same people, there are consequences to not doing what the Christian god tells you, even if the consequences are created by the same god.
You will be told that you have free will to decide/vote between the options that you are given, but if you think of an alternative option it is not valid and will be met with violence.
