"Religion is the opium of the masses" - Karl Marx.

today, a "new-age religion" is taking hold. it's difficult to include in the above statistics. it's seemingly disorganized, but make no mistake, there is a concerted effort to push it onto the masses. a classic description of someone who identifies with this ideology goes to yoga, mediates (sometimes for hours per week!), while wearing yoga pants (men too) and sipping on a smoothie, usually to destress from a pointless job and relationships.

the objective of this religion is to make people complacent with their current situation, and make them believe with all of their being that the situation will resolve itself with the "power of good thoughts" whether or not any willful action takes place.

all religions (even satanism) convey some proper teachings, however throwing a scoop of shit into a bowl of ice-cream does not make it a sundae.
