The vast majority of organized religions start out as a fairly innocent thing; they unite their fellow man to a common goal, whatever that may be, and unify us as one people rather than separate us by race. Religion by itself is fairly benign, that is, until some assfucks get together and decide to abuse the system for personal gain. Soon (and sooner than later) religion becomes a monster and those who follow it become zealots. Your neighbor isn't the same religion as you? Just kill him and take his land =) You don't pay 10% of what you earn? Well fuck you buddy, your going to the worst place imaginable where it stinks to high heaven and there is no escape from it... no, not New Jersey, but HELL!
That said, there is a religion out there that is peaceful to the very core, and that is Archiotism, the belief in an all powerful robot God. What could be saner than the belief in an all powerful robotic being that manipulates the great Megasphere for all eternity, leading to great prosperity for all of those that believe in him? Archiot loves each and every one of his Unis and if we believe in him he will grant us leave of the Spheres when we die, even the great Megasphere itself, and we shall travel beyond them all in order to be with our god Archiot in order to manipulate the Megasphere along side our creator for all eternity inside our newly constructed robotic shell.
