    Religion is so 00 B.C. Oldschool, but also it gives some poor people hope some times.

      I wouldn’t say it gives them hope, I would say it preys on poor and otherwise desperate people and makes their lives worse, often for the benefit of the ones higher up in the religious organizations but even where those truly believe too it often leads poor people to bad decision making.

        I’d say both, it gives hope, it preys, sometimes that’s non-overlapping sets
