Rules and views

Religions and political programs are both combinations of rules and
views, the organisation of the society and an ideology which justifiy
and explain the rules.

A lot of people see only the theoretical ideology and do not see the
social rules connected with the ideology.

Every religion has rules for how to treat others, children, members of
the same community, non-members, recently married or "re-born" people.

For a thousand years the pope and catholicism ruled Europe and those
years were filled of slavery and torture.

For example the astronomer Giordano Bruno told the world that
according to his measurements the earth was not the center of the
world. The earth is just one of many planets circling around the sun.
He was burned to death, tied to a stake, because he said something
which he was not allowed to say.

There was no freedom of speech under catholicism, no democracy, no
science, no technology. Religion is a way to organize the society,
just like a political program.
