About This Quote

Religion was a means to an end. She had seen it wielded as a weapon. If she needed to use it, she would, but she would never allow herself to be used by it. Religion was a weapon, and she did not want to be the reason for its use.

People are too quick to use religion as a tool to extract all their needs from others, whether they are willing or not. And, because of that, religion has become something that is not only used for good but also something that is used for evil. The more religion is used for good, the more people believe in it without questioning what it might be doing instead of what it says.
