Christianity since the early Middle Ages has been used by all the ruling elites of Europe as a great tool in controlling the masses and furthering their need for more wealth and land. Only nationalism has proven to more effective in mobilizing an indigenous people to war. Let’s not forget that there has been literally hundreds of conflicts throughout history that have been fueled by the animosity that is found in many Christian sects. It’s not for nothing that Lenin once said that ’Religion is the opium of the masses’.
Jesus may have been the Prince of Peace, but that doesn’t mean that the Church he supposedly found is a Church of Peace. I cannot think of any other religion in history that has been as hypocritical and as corrupt as the Christian churches.
