Religions

They are great tools to keep people together and make them serve for one big aim. Some of them created kingdoms,empires and countries. The idea of another world is too fantastic for people who haven't found happiness in this world. At the same time it is a great solace for the poor,wretched people.

It'd be better to stop fighting and killing each other for those imaginary things.
