Religion vs Power craze

It is fully a demonic act when religions justify or promote violence either it be direct physical attack or it is done by words, arrogance, intolerance etc. In fact, those ‘religious’ perspectives have nothing in relation with the essence of those religious faith. What they aim to have is domination and power, and the economic possibilities as further controlling forces. We know that religions are incapable of regulating these factors, and they need to be dealt diligently by the state.

Rather, if the state itself uses religion for power and make religions justify the divisive and violent approaches, it will damage the progress of the nation-state itself. It is necessary to have good politics with good intentions for the common good to have a global network that acts beyond the nexus of corporate powers and political systems.

On the other side, if religions give up their religious depths just for the survival possibilities and seek safety under the ruling state, they betray themselves and cheat the religious faithful. When 'religious structures' re-form themselves into corporates and begin to regulate power and economy using the religious sentiments, unfortunately the faithful believe them to be the face of religion and fall to darkest pits. The agents of those structures are devils holding religious texts and wearing an angel's coat.
