It is true that, nowadays, you can believe in something different, in something else. But do you think that being religiously different would give you the same rights that everyone else has? Although you say that every human being has liberty and rights to do what they please, do you think that the rest of the world could easily accept you if you don’t belong to one of the chief religions? And worse, if that religion doesn’t belong to Christianity, how do you think you’re going to be seen by others? We have to accept, although we find it difficult sometimes, that Christianity, just like in the Anglo-Saxon period, is still ‘controlling’, somehow, the world.

In the Anglo-Saxon period, the Romans invaded Britain and imposed Christianity to all the tribes or peoples who lived there before them: Britain’s tribes started to be controlled by the Roman Catholic Church.

Christianity is, nowadays, a religion that has used, somehow, a lot of lies to gain the support of the people. Sins have been pardoned in exchange of money; priests have damage our society more than any pagan religion has, harming children women, etc. Christianity now hides behind the image of the Church, convincing people that the Church is necessary: But what does an expensive and great building has to do with your faith in God? I think that’s something more personal, that is absolutely not related with money or material things. Christianity now gives, probably unconsciously, more importance to things like going to Church, giving
