Yet if you take that away from them, well, the masses are easier to manipulate and control.
Just my humble, conspiracy minded opinion.
And it's a good opinion too.
The essence of having an ultimate judge of what is right or wrong and the rewards for choosing which,
is to make sure such a decision isn't arbitrarily arrived at with the burden of temptation.
Therefore, the 'fear' that punishment will ensue, mentally demands an individual to select an all-around
preference that -not only benefits the individual, but a society in general.
For the education-system to remove the belief of a higher consciousness, it eliminates the individual being
accountable for their actions via a sense of spirituality. It also assures a release of 'group-think' where the
onus of responsibility is diluted enough that when confused, the individual-less group will seek assistance
from a new 'higher power'... namely those who are supposed to serve a society.
That's why you've seen violence and tears in the name of politics, certain politicians are the new Gods.
But only for now.
