I may disagree with religion strongly, but I'm into "spirituality", and it feels like religion came out of something genuine, like they were onto something super meaningful and then it got perverted into a 'set of information and rules about how the world operates.'

The Old Testament was written to justify military conquest, subjugation and dictatorial rule. I know that's harsh, but the Bible's so conflicted, it really only makes sense as a tool for building an Absolutist State.
