Religion is opiate of the masses
Imagine if the millions of people who subscribe to religion didn't just lament and pray about things that are unjust and upsetting in the world but actually took action and organised to bring about the solutions.
I can see why right wing governments especially cater to religions as it is all just a way to dissipate anger - upset with a genocide across the world heavily aided by your own government? Just pray for peace and go about your day and after a minute with your eyes closed and slow breathing your body is physiologically calm and at rest (but you tell yourself as a believer that your god is in control), while your government continues anyway.
Serious wealth inequity and disparity where our basic needs as a society could easily be met through systemic change? Nah just pray that the sick recover soon somehow and that homeless people can get fed for a day.
Environment getting fucked over and species going endangered or extinct? Nah, just pray our leaders be wise in their decisions, all while lobby groups continue anyway to pay for their bidding to be done.
Religion just dissipates valid dissatisfaction and anger with the consequences of our socio-political-economic systems.
