Jeremy Bentham On Religion by mmsen(op): 12:12pm On Nov 17, 2014
". . . in no instance has a system in regard to religion been ever established, but for the purpose, as well as with the effect of its being made an instrument of intimidation, corruption, and delusion, for the support of depredation and oppression in the hands of governments.”

i totally agree with him, especially those days when leadership was based on the religion of the leaders, but today we have positive laws instead which have relegated religion to the background in that as far as government is concern religion is not important, but i wonder why our leaders still attach so much value. may be as he rightly said, for " intimidation, corruption and delusion".

is this a fraud, crime or scam?
