An artificial philosophy and ritual and figurehead constructed by those in power to tell the downtrodden masses:
Yes, life on Earth sucks but that is because you must suffer to earn you place in a better life after you are dead!
Oh and BTW, please don't notice that while you are busily "earning" your way to a better life, you are making the lives of those in power much better.
This can be applied to all the origins of all the religions.
The rituals were added to make the religions have importance and structure to the ignorant masses.
THIS IS THE SINGLE COMMON THREAD IN ALL OF THE RELIGIONS THAT PREACH EARNING YOUR WAY TO HEAVEN TO SERVE A DEITY.
This is also why the religions have been used to justify wars and destruction time and again.
This is not to say that everything religious is bad stupid or worthless. Most of it probably is but some of it is good: contemplating and planning your life, seeking education and to better yourself, trying to help one another, those are all good things.
Go ahead, show you ignorance and flame or flag me
