>When kings went corporate and began taking over the lives of people they didn't know..and then imposing their own religious beliefs..those beliefs ceased to be truly religious and lost all spirituallity..they became instead methods of enforcing obedience...and after centuries and millenia of that...no one born into a religion has ANY idea of what true spirituallity is.

...I'd add that the prefered religions of kings and dictators were precisely those which lend themselves to strong authoritarian rule...a priest, as tyrant or dictator, as the best way to prepare citizens and subjects to accept earthly rule by a mirror image of the "Tyrant of the Skies". A free-ranging religion, which sees the individual as an end in him or herself whose spiritual needs are a matter for individual, personal discovery...who does not exist to serve or be used and exploited by the State (and hence by a god) but rather for whom the State exists in order to further opportunities for growth and happiness in the individual...would be anathema to almost every political form of government we've ever known.

When a government sees its citizens as the means to an end and not an end in themselves...you've got political tyranny and tyranical Judeo-Christo-Islamic "religion"...working hand in hand to further their OWN corporate goals.
