are considered: Christianity – Catholic and Orthodox,
Islam,Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism … every last one of

Respect the other!; Share your wealth with the poor!;
Don’t steal!; Don’t commit adultery!; Forgive!... All

religions are in fact deep philosophical teachings, full of

advice for healthy life and conduct.

However, the religious teachings are not
implemented in a consistent way. On the contrary, they

serve to misguide masses by grouping people on religious

basis. There are also power centers that use the

congregation for their own interests, as a tool for their
own existence and for achieving their own goals.
