Yes, a good post but you fell 'slightly' short by stating "for a higher purpose"I think you need to separate this into 2 different categories.
1. Religious Organizations, which have been about the power, control and money for centuries. It's well known, and to say any different is just purposely being a contrarian.
2. Religious peoples, who still connect to their religion on a spiritual level and observe religious holidays. Some see and understand the controlling nature of the religion but somehow look past it for a higher purpose, and some that just blindly follow.
Religion in it's entirety is of ongoing purposeful control end to end due to the 360 degree ripple effect.
We have no higher purpose than to live on this rock as best we can by honestly understanding what we are and accepting of our design/nature.
This is a lifetime journey on its own and 99.9% of people never achieve it due to fear, self loathing, constant social suppression etc..
To simplify it, in order to start the journey, understand what we are and utilise true honest with no filter two way communication at all times. This will be shot down every step of the way by society because ongoing control is always present and in play and has been since day 1.
