I don't know if this is popular opinion here or not, but I think all religion to a point is brainwashing. When a child hears something is true their entire lives their minds grasp the idea so strongly they believe without a doubt, then they feel so strongly in their belief they do they the same thing to their child. To me religion is a vicious cycle that very few people break out of. Is it a coincidence that most people believe what their parents believe if there was a God wouldn't he stop parents from teaching the wrong beliefs. So hopefully in the future humanity can leave the dark ties of religion behind them and try to find out more about the scientific origin of the universe (or universes) instead of just saying God did it.
