Was religion invented to control people?

P.S. I have not started reading on this website yet. So before I do start doing my research I want to say my thoughts and my opinion, so I can compare on how well informed I will be.... I'm Catholic, so I do believe in Jesus, in Virgin Mary and angels, in miracles etc.. With that being said I do wonder if it at times religion was created by a person, not very much different like us. There is times where i think it was created to control the public, you chose your religion or sometimes you're just born into it and keep it that way for the rest of your life. It makes sense to create something like regulations that a group of people look up to that says is good to do and that'll be the way you'll get into Heaven. Imagine life without religion.. no morals .. no sins .. people would not have anything to keep them under control other than of course the laws created by the government. It would be harder to keep people under control because there would not be anything they would look for, after death. So I am sure the majority of people would do what they feel is right. Not what the Holy Bible or a preacher says to do. I love my religion, but there is nothing wrong with being informed about other things and expanding your mind. So i do thank Dr. Preston for the time he is giving us to be informed about something we are truly passionate about.
