Religion teaches us that we can only ever learn to love each other like a family of god, by first accepting that we are all complicit in murdering god.
It just so happens that the god we murdered was the one who was trying to teach us how to love each other like his family, which also just happens to be the very reason we are said to have crucified Him in the first place.
And when you consider that said "god" is alleged to have sent his only son to earth to be slaughtered by humans in an act of sacrificial crucifixion, humanity has proven to be remarkably dependable when it comes to committing murder when god most wants us to.
For the Christian, only by first accepting that we have God's blood on our collective hands (which is simply the inevitable result of having to kill a god to be forgiven for an act of disobedience, in some ancient Amazonian Eden somewhere, by Adam & Eve), can we ever hope to love each other like a family of said "God."
And people wonder why humanity has so often only acted like “the family” that belonged to Charles Manson?
Religion is to God what cancer is to man, for each devours its host to survive, in a struggle to the death of which is mightier, the Sanhedrins of the world, or the Christs.
And who gets to define who is what, and the things that are a "what" as a "who."
