I don't know whether religion was created solely to control people - it was created for fear of a lack of knowledge, primarily, I think.

However, I think it is very true to say that certain aspects of religion are extremely useful for controlling people, even if they contradict themselves (eg. "God loves you, so give Him your money, or in His love, he shall send you to a fiery pit to be tortured forever - because he's moral." ).

Skittlify me up...
