Despite what religions say, this is what they actually do:

They attempt to control your life based on their fiction.

Every time. Every year. Every century. It never stops. This is what religion is about. Controlling everything and everyone. For the better? Nope. Definitely not.

    Id be all for benevolent authoritarianism.

    That said, religion will never be that.

    The only wed get any sort of idealized society is through force and through benevolent authoritariani, it's more likely to work than the joke that is democracy, ppl are too easily manipulated, and even just 50% of ppl are stupider than me (if standardized tests meant anything at all, it's a much higher estio than that) than I can't trust them to vote for my best interests or their own

    There's no benevolent authoritanism.

    Otherwise, I'd be in-charge.
