Sigh. Why do you mention religion? That is the largest disinformation of all to me. No matter which.

By that i don't even mean to disregard anything supernatural, spiritual, or whatever is above our current understanding of the ways in which nature works.

I just feel that any organized religion is a form of totalitarian gatekeeping.

Imagine for example some dystopic society where for whatever reason there is only one fast food provider with a limited menu available. While fruits and berries do exist outside of the walled ghettos, but nobody dares to go there, because FORBIDDEN.

That is what every religion, church, sect, cult is to me. Some asshole saying this is and countless drones repeating it for all eternity, which is not making it so, just an annoying loud drone instead.

Call it memetic pollution.
