There has always been and there will always be for ages yet to come, one religion for the masses and another religion for the scholars.

I no longer believe in the Christian Bible. I no longer trust the words of the Christian Bible. I once walked the Christian Path, but now I walk the Pagan Path. I am now Pagan.

Before you go, think about this…

The anthropologist, Alfred Reginald Radcliffe-Brown (1881-1955), has pointed out that religious fear is self-perpetuating. He argues that, for pastors and their sheep, the objective of ritual is to relieve the believer of insecure feelings or danger from evil. But it also serves to remind the worshipper of their feeling of insecurity. If it were not for the existence of rituals and the beliefs associated with them, people would feel less anxious. So, while some think magic, ritual and religion give men confidence, comfort and a sense of security, they are simultaneously inculcating in them fears and anxieties of which people would otherwise be much less conscious.
