Shepherds use religion to fight wars, sheep fight over religion.

About This Quote

Religion is a tool used by the powerful to maintain their authority over the poor. People use religion to keep love and peace at an arm’s length. They fight wars to keep the people of the world in chains, but they are very good at fighting over religion. Religion can be used as an excuse for war, but once people use it as a way to kill, they are forced to give up on religion.
