The bigger picture is Christ is building His Kingdom regardless of what evil people plan or do.

I'm pretty sure if you asked lucifer what he thought about religion, he would say pretty much the same things as 78 above. Not that I'm trying to demonize her/him, but simply that her/his view seems pretty distant from God's view.
Satan hates religion. Hates it, hates it, hates it. That religion must be destroyed is the starting point and real intent behind Marxism. Why? Because religion is God's method for raising and improving people's capacity to give and receive love, and to live in a way that aligns with his natural and spiritual principles. And Satan wants people separated from God and under his control.
If Satan cannot destroy a religion by murdering them all (re: all Marxist/communist revolutions), he will try to do it by infiltration and corruption. (Re: history of religions) This is why Christianity has gone through a continual process of reform. Because imperfect as Christians are, the devil will always work to infiltrate and corrupt. Example, the reformation happened because the Catholic church became infiltrated and corrupt beyond a point where it had to be rejected, and so protestantism arose to move the dial forward. Since then, reformation has constantly been required.
But this is Satan's strategy: infiltrate, corrupt, then accuse: "Look at how corrupt all these religions are!" in order to get people to see NOT what God is doing and trying to accomplish, to NOT see the good, but to see the bad, the work of the devil, but blame God!
Note: the reason why Christians (those that do this) participate in the ritual of holy communion is NOT to symbolize eating and drinking like cannibals, but to symbolize that we inherit Christ's spirit and flesh, that we become one spirit and one flesh with him. It's symbolic, not literal.
But Satan knows all this, and hates it, and rejoices if he can convince anyone to reject what God is doing and focus on what he (the devil) is doing.
Satan invented religion as a barrier to the one True God.
CHRIST confronted the and exposed religion as man made doctrines and commandments.
Christianity isn't a religion. It's an open door to God for people who hunger and thirst after God's righteousness
Religion is a man trying to perform ritual practices to achieve by their own skill amd discipline what God freely gave by grace due to the perfect and complete works of Jesus Christ. Our good works are.to believe WHAT Christ accomplished. Total forgiveness. Redemption and the giving of power and eternal life. Thus defeating for the individual who believes the evil works of the devil.
Thanks for sharing.
Like is very often the exact case, the perspective your share is not without merit. But I think it is missing quite a number of really critical things.
Have a great day.
