    I have noticed lots of examples of people using religion to "justify" actions that are right at home with the playbook of a Snake Oil Salesman.

      yeah it is quite literally the oldest trick in the book and the origination of class society

        I'd argue that animal husbandry was the start, but that's definitely the origin of the First Estate

          yeah maybe so, I feel like people were practicing animal husbandry under primitive communism though right? I would assume the first instance of having a class divide socially would have required a religious concept to justify it
