What William the Bloody said is right. Religions are conditioning people in a dangerous way. Here in Italy we have the specific case of Vatican: it is an independent State, but it always wants to rule in the Italian territory. Because of the Vatican's influence, abortion is still illegal and gay unions have been approved only a few days ago after many contrasts. And I've always said that Church is the first mafia. With all the money and gold that the Vatican owns, it could feed all the starving people in this world.
Many years ago there was the Democrazia Cristiana (Christian Democracy) which was the political party of the Church. My grandpa was a socialist in those years, and he told me that Democrazia Cristiana highlighted socialists and did its best to keep them under control.
