modern religion is, well simply a buisness
just a grab for money...
wicca is less of one as-well you don't need to get anything to be a wiccan-no baptism or whatnot...
in most cases religion is the opium of the people
(yes I said it)
there are things I don't agree with when it comes to religion (even my own)
the modern times we live in simply has no use for religion-its just another money maker

No, I am interested in evidence of a sufficiently high quality to be published in a refereed academic journal.

okay I found just what I wanted to say
"Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people."
