Religion is a form of controlling people:The Antichrist, 38. "We know, our conscience now knows – just what the real value of all those sinister inventions of priest and church has been and what ends they have served, with their debasement of humanity to a state of self-pollution, the very sight of which excites loathing, – the concepts «the other world,» «the last judgment,» «the immortality of the soul,» the «soul» itself: they are all merely so many instruments of torture, systems of cruelty, whereby the priest becomes master and remains master..." one man-machine wants to achieve power over another. Even the term "freedom," very often used by theologians, in its positive sense actually means "power." Religion is by no means more "fulfilling the will of God" than anything else. As God is primary and almighty, his will is by definition always fulfilled (it is impossible that he wills something and it is not fulfilled).
