I'd say religion is all about social control and preservation of the State.

Man-made viruses and rape are human perversions of natural things that aren't evil- natural viruses aren't evil nor is sexual reproduction. Murder is a perversion of death. Corporation is a perversion of business.
Zealotry, Fire and Brimstone, and Televangelism are perversions of religion. Those are about social control and preservation of the state. Religion is something different to everyone. To a buddhist monk it is about finding enlightment, to one Christian it might be about having a relationship with Christ/God, to a stupid born-again Christian it might be about believing that you are gonna be raptured away while all the others are burned in flames, to Pat Robertson it might be a way to be a racist and sell books and appear on TV, to yet another Christian it might be about being condescending to those that they haven't really liked all their life.
