No they are not. Whenever anyone claims that religion was created to control the masses, I ask them who created it and why it doesn't seem at all that they'd gain anything from it. I mean if you believe that Jesus is a dead human being and not divine.(He's easily one of the most popular religious figures around) Kind of hard for a dead and rotting man to control your mind. If you're going to say that the pastors are controlling us and making us give them all of our money, well the majority of them are not televangelists and there is also the manner of conversion. Many convert and then find a church to go to, so its hard to believe that the pastor had some sort of grand scheme to get this particular person's money. Then there's the fact that there are so many different religions. What was the mastermind thinking when he devised atheistic religions, pantheistic religions and new age religions? wouldn't it be more effective to gain control of the masses by using just one?

Some, but not all, emotionally-wounded people will say yes.
Some malicious people will say yes.
Some, lacking intelligence will say yes, and some easily led will say yes
But in truth NOT all forms of religion are mind control, and it is folly to claim they are.

Scripture tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. You start by wanting all of the lies and worldly garbage gone. You begin seeking righteousness, and knowing that you have been living with sin in your life, you turn from it and ask God for cleansing and renewal.

THERE ARE TWO WORDS => MIND and CONTROL.
ALL RELIGIONS -- TO A MORE OR LESS EXTENT-- DEPEND ON MENTAL FACULTIES (MIND)
BUT ALL RELIGIONS DO "NOT " ADVOCATE "MIND CONTROL"
="YOGAM CITTA VRTTHI NIRODHAM" (Padhanjali Yoga Sutram)
SO ONLY "YOGA RELIGION" ALONE ADVOCATES "MIND CONTROL"
(1) "YOGAM ITHI MAANYANTHAY"
"STHIRAAM INDRIYA DHAARANAM" (Katha Upanishad --1-6-1)
(2) "NIR MADHANA ABYAASAATH"
"DEVAN PASYEN NIGHOODHAVAT" (Svetasvataara Upanishad -1-1-14)
"YOGA RELIGION IS 100% "ABSORBED AND ASSIMILATED" IN DHAARMIC RELIGIONS =>
(1) SANAATHANAM (a.k.a.HINDU)
(2) JEENA (JAIN)
(3) BUDDDDHA (NOT BHOOODA --please practice pronunciation--Even Elementary School Kids learn correctly )
(4) SIKH
YOGA ALWAYS GOES HAND-IN-HAND WITH SAANKYA IN SHAT DHARSANAM
THE MOMENT I START PRACTISING "YOGA" (RELIGION) --I ACCEPT ALL TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SAANKYA ( as we agree for terms &conditions when we sign a web site)
BY ACCEPTING SAANKYA DUALISM --ONE has to Accept
(1) PURUSAH --PRAKRUTHI VIBHAAGA YOGAM
(2) KARMA (PRAARABHA AND SANJITHA KARMAS)
(3) PUNAR JANMAM (RE-INCARNATION --which is DIAGONALLY opposite to RESURRECTION
ONCE MIND-CONTROL IS ACCEPTED --SAANKYAA--YOGA--KARMA--RE-INCARNATION --DHAARMIC RELIGIONS --ARE ALL "AUTOMATICALLY" ACCEPTED --ONE CAN NOT RIDE TWO HORSES --IT WILL RESULT IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND INCURABLE INJURY--
"I PRACTICE THE "IRRELIGIOUS PART' OF "YOGA"--DYAANAM (MEDITATION) MAKES NO SENSE.--NOT A "SANE" TALK --THERE IS NO RELIGIOUS AND IRRELIGIOUS PARTS OF YOGA --YOGA 101 % IS RELIGIOUS.
