***Just my opinion......

Religion was originally used to do the opposite

It was to stop murder, invasions etc and allow people to live harmoniously so that agriculture and building and civilizations could prosper

"By including ever-watchful ancestors, spirits and gods in the social realm, humans discovered an effective strategy for restraining selfishness and building more cooperative groups"

There is a brilliant chapter on this in the excellent book Sapiens
