True, but I think the reason why a lot of times when we think of a specific school of religious thought, we think of the extremist forms because of the media, and I think the media is manipulated at times to project these ideas so as to control people. I think the state wants to create a worker class of people who don't care about religious discovery or maybe are part of a religion but just don't take it seriously to have a class of workers who do exactly as you, just kinda work and consume, keep the economy running. Then when you have an individuals who do care about religion, they get swayed into becoming more and more extremist as time goes on so they will clash with eachother.
Like, I don't think the state wants atheists to think they can learn something from a Christian, or that a Muslim can learn good values from a pagan, or for people of a certain religion to not belong to a set of specific branches that it(the state) approves of to keep them containable. THey want people who don't care about their religion, maybe are busy letting their religion make them look down on themselves, or fighting with another religion to control them. So this way there is no confidence, unity, or strength in the proletariat classes.
