If that were true, why during covid did the DS try to forbid church gatherings more than any other institution?
Organized religion does not invalidate an individual path to God or spirituality, and most are not interested in controlling anyone. You're just being snobby toward religion.
because there are good priests, good pastors, etc, and they generally stopped all meeting so that people spent more time looking at and listening to the news and no time talking about how crazy everything was.
I'm not saying everything is bad about religion I'm just saying it is used to control people who are not aware of what's going on. I think religions are completely against what God teaches but that's my opinion. I don't need any man to tell me about my personal relationship with the creator. Some people just like to be told what to believe. Others like to think for themselves. To each their own.

Because they did not want a place for people to congregate and discuss knowledge. They kind of banned all large congregations.
