Since my student years, the issue with religions has both fascinated me and made me increasingly critical. A thousand times, I sensed an unrecognized and hidden virus within the collective system. Critically speaking, these 3,000 years of religions have done little to help humanity.

For 3,000 years, there has been no lasting peace in this world. This raises one simple question: Why haven’t these 3,000 years brought peace? On the contrary, for more than 1,000 years, major wars have occurred—often between Christianity and Islam, as well as other aspects of archaic religions.

For 3,000 years, people have blindly accepted the notion that lasting peace is impossible. But this is a dreadful lie. Scientifically speaking, it must be acknowledged that people were made to accept this lie because religion enforced it through fear, dread, threats of hell, and brutal actions against humans and animals.

Even 300 years ago, the U.S. and the U.K. pursued power and greed without hesitation. It is incredible how humanity was subjugated for 3,000 years, treated only as objects of exploitation.

Let us return to the three major religions: Have they brought peace? There are countless narratives about figures like Jesus, Mohammed, and Abraham. These figures have appeared for millennia, often as eternal threats. But none of the major religions have achieved lasting peace.

For thousands of years, both religious and spiritual people have helped others. But when praying for hours in front of a wall, one realizes: behind the wall, there is nothing. The trauma of religions is rooted in thousands of years of lies for submission.

The answer is simple: Every person must find the answers within themselves during their lifetime. After studying 7,000 years of wars, I can tell you that humanity learns almost nothing that is truly necessary. But every person can experience how everything comes into balance—psychologically, intellectually, spiritually, and practically.
