Organzied religion - whether it be Christianity, Judaism, Egyption or Sumarian priests, it matters not - ALL organized religion is about one thing and one thing only: control.
HOW to control a population that is scattered, tribal, spends most of its' time just trying to survive, eat and find shelter? Get everyone to believe the same thing and gather at the same place (church/temples). Done! Great! NOW we can control people and actually get some shit done.
That's it folks. End of story. NONE of it is 'real' because it's not meant to be 'real'. It's meant to control people, to get the herd moving in the same direction. So whatever magical story accomplishes this, great!
To have a connection with "God" and to explore spirituality you absolutely do not need other human beings to tell you how to feel, explore or pray.
