History tells us that organized religion has always been about politics - i.e. a means of manipulating the consent and consensus of a group of people in order to consolidate power and control over them. But, since all history is written by those currently in power it is not so easy to read in it the fact that all political organizations - i.e. governments - are systems of religious belief, used as the means of manipulating the consent and consensus of a group of people in order to consolidate power and control over them. If one but only looks briefly however, this becomes apparent; which is why all governments spend so much time and effort distracting the people so they won't think about looking behind the curtain of politics, or a question what they have been systematically taught to believe.
