Does Organized Religion Both Exploit And Encourage Human Weakness?

4

First of all, I was hoping to establish in my previous question that religion is indeed a human weakness. I think most people agreed with that. Now I want you to think about whether or not organized religion exploits this weakness to make a profit. If you think it does, what do you think about an organization that instead of striving to alleviate a human weakness, it exploits it and encourages it and actively tries to make more and more people suffer from the same weakness?

I guess that is 1 way to look at it. From a polar opposite as I see it, but I see it.
I am only strengthened by my God, but I see what you are saying.

Sometimes. But so does communism and fascism and uncontrolled capitalism.
