You are suggesting that all religions seek to brainwash as many followers as possible, and all religious people are brainwashed. This is not true. The evidence here comes from the fact that I have in a sense made my own religion. I believe what I think is right based on my own heavy thoughts on issues of morality and the acceptance of religious doctrine/creed, and they change as often as I recieve new input. For example, I haven't found a Christian minister (nor many of its followers) yet that shares my belief that some of what the apostle Paul wrote in the Bible is faulted. The Bible is a collection of books put together by men, and must be viewed as such, however, some of it was God speaking, and I believe that to be true.
