Religion evolved to serve The Evil Establishment, which has now discarded it in favor of using The Invisible Fist.


Another problem that each of the world religions must solve is that none of them teach a way of life that works in today's (urban) jungle. Today, all of the major world religions come down to us through millenia of empire. Viewed as myths, these stories, for millennia, have not been shaped by any evolutionary process of the kind described in the "villages in a jungle" analysis on IDEAFARM.COM. They are not stories that put the universe in human terms to teach a "way of life" (roles and rules) for small groups of about 50 persons, villages in a jungle.

For millenia, each of the world's major religions has functioned to teach a "way of life" that superimposed a small scale private social order (individual behavior) upon a larger, empire-scale public order imposed by police and military power. Each such religion is therefore best viewed as an instrument of a king or emperor that serves to prosper that king or emperor. A kingdom is not a coalition formed by persons in a jungle to prosper the common good. In the terms used in other teachings on IDEFARM.COM, a kingdom is an "evil coalition" that creates an artificial jungle within which other persons are like vines to be plucked, or cattle to be slaughtered. Viewed in this way, today's major religions function, not to empower and prosper The People, but to enslave and exploit them.

It is true that any religion is better than no religion for an individual trying to win at the game of life presented by the urban jungle, but this benefit coexists within the larger picture of exploitation. In a vineyard, each vine is nurtured and protected with loving care by the vigneron, but the objective of the vigneron is to pluck the grapes. On a ranch, the cattleman similarly nurtures, feeds, and protects his stock from disease and (other) predators, but the objective is to slaughter them for beef. In the same way, each of the world religions has nurtured the well being of a king's subjects while enabling the exploitation of those subjects by the king.

Religion is the precursor to today's secular urban jungle, in which the role of religion is replaced with ministries of propoganda, the role of the king is replaced with the Evil Establishment, and police and military power is replaced with the Invisible Fist. Today's "urban jungle" is a jungle only from the point of view of the persons who inhabit it. From the point of view of the evil coalitions (vignerons, ranchers) that create and control it, today's urban jungle is like a vineyard or a ranch.
