Faith as a Weapon - The Machiavellian Origins and Use of Religion as a Tool of Global Control

The Machiavellian view strips away the sacred and exposes the scaffolding. Religion was never a gift from heaven; it was a weapon forged on Earth, designed by the few to rule the many. Its power lies not in its truth, but in its utility. As long as people fear hell and crave heaven, they will obey those who claim the keys to both. The true rulers of this world have no need for gods; they only need the masses to believe in them.
