Religion, a weapon, wielded with might, 

A tool of control in the rulers' sight. 

To question the divine, a risky affair, 

Crusades, inquisition, shadows to despair. 


Faith, a cloak, veils questioning minds, 

Demonized skeptics, an age-old ploy, 

From rituals to festivals, the peons abide, 

A controlled existence, in religion's guide. 


Slavery, racism, wars' bitter wine, 

Backed by faith, a sinister design. 

Dark ages' echoes, a warning bell, 

A future dominated by a faith-fueled spell. 


Marriage sanctified, a holy decree, 

Taxing holiness, a religious fee. 

Religion, a business, a duping scheme, 

A hierarchy's rule, a leader's dream. 


As humans crave warm comfort over cold reality, 

The majority may shun this truth's totality. 

Religion, a tool, a wielder's creation, 

A means of control, a societal foundation.
