POR QUE TANTA GENTE ESTÁ SE AFASTANDO DAS RELIGIÕES? | PLUGADO #219
Summary
This Plugado Podcast episode features guests discussing how organized religion uses fear, guilt, and manipulation to control followers and extract money. They argue that concepts like hell were historically constructed for political and financial gain, citing the origins of hell in Greek mythology and the Church’s suppression of reincarnation.
