Religion preys on ignorant minds.
Ignorant minds can be educated people in this world's systems of education, but ignorant minds can also be uneducated people.
In order for a religious empire to arise and rule over people, it must control the knowledge of its people, and, as much as possible, prevent people from becoming educated. By keeping people uneducated, the religion can also keep people living in poverty. By keeping people uneducated as well as living in poverty, the religion keeps people living in a state of dependence on the religion and its leadership. Without education and without wealth, the people become prisoners of religion.
In order to control the knowledge of its people, a religion can create its own network of colleges and universities, high schools, elementary schools, kindergartens, and seminaries. And when the educational process begins with toddlers, the religion can maintain control of people all the days of their lives. Thus the people are being educated in the way the religion wants them to learn, and from keeping them isolated from outside interference, they become walking-talking textbooks of their own religious beliefs and practices, and their behaviors become robotic because they are living in a world of mind control.
As such, the people do not think for themselves, or make their own decisions, because they rely on their religious leaders do their thinking for them as well as to make their decisions for them: for they are now as obedient as puppy dogs. They have been spoon-fed religion since they were toddlers, they have been spoon-fed education to adulthood, and now they are prisoners of the religion. Now they must ask for permission concerning marriage partners and other objectives, just as they asked for permission to go to the bathroom when they were toddlers.
Knowledge is powerful; knowledge is strong. And the people in control of the world today control knowledge.
The Bible is the knowledge of God; but in order for people in government and people in religion to control the world, they must keep the Bible locked in chains to prevent people from gaining the knowledge of God.
Religion is an educational system that does not include the knowledge of God.
Religion is a military system, for it is at war against God, against Christ, and against the Bible.
Religion is a childish thing, for it keeps people living and believing as children all the days of their lives, for they are prisoners of kindergarten knowledge.
As believers in Christ, however, it is good for us to be reminded of the words Jesus spoke to His disciples before His crucifixion and resurrection in Jerusalem, when He said,
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you. A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. (John 16: 12-16)
By these words of Christ, we are enabled to believe in the words of the Bible because of the revelation of truth from God by the Holy Spirit, which is a supernatural event from God to us; for God created us to be His children, and therefore it is not the desire of God's heart that people should be the children of religion and the servants of strange gods, or gods of man's imaginations.
The Holy Bible contains the knowledge of God and this is the educational system that God desires for the people who will believe in Him; and the knowledge of God is not contained, nor is it controlled, by the religious institutions of man.
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14: 1-3)
