Religion and end result slavery

I have a question why does religion and slavery go together. it seems like in this country as the Religion has gotten ahold of the masses - it seems like it goes together with Big government and big business. It seems like people become enslaved and the country suffers. As the mass church become powerful and people listen like fools - what happens to people and the econmony goes down hill. It seems like power is the reason. As the preachers gets influence over people- what happens is the people in the end go down hill both financially and morally.History shows that in Russia the Russsian orthodox church and the Government divided the power and the people were slaves. The same thing happened during the Middle Ages in Europe the the Catholic church held the power and the people became slaves- from about 300 ce till the protestants finally rebelled in the 1600- ( I think the dates are right) from the Main church. ) Look at how many people were slaughtered by the Inquistion started by the Cathlic charch in order to control the people and make slaves out of them. There is the same thing going on now with the church trying to get control of the people and the economny going down. i bellieve a Pope said the only good Cathlics were the the poor Mexicans and uneducated ones. I believe it was said in Denver a few years ago . Look at the Campaign going on now to bring in the poor Mexicans into this country to become the mass. They are destroying the wages and this is in conjuction with big business to get wages and health benefits lower to the mass. They are trying their best to destroy the middle class along with the Bush administration, and it looks like they are doing it too. I do not understand so call religion and why it is so detrimental to the average person. The mass religion destroys the schools and the education of the average person. People should wake up and take care of today. The fear of the life hereafter is a terrible thing and it is used by the mass religion to destroy people. People please wake up. Luck don
