Religion — (from Latin religare — to bind, to reconnect) — is a social institution and a system of ritual actions based on blind worship and dogmas.
The Essence of the Phenomenon
Unlike Faith (Knowledge), religion often builds on a sense of guilt and the need for “atonement of sins” through intermediaries. It is a tool for mass control that gathers people into a crowd for rituals. For Orthodox consciousness (in its original sense), religion can act as a limiter (“opium” or “virus”), blocking the direct connection of Man with the Creator and substituting internal Conscience with external rules and the fear of punishment.
How the “Battery” Works
Any religion is a powerful Egregor (an energy-information entity). When a person undergoes a rite (baptism, circumcision, etc.), they connect to this egregor.
- Plus: The egregor provides a sense of security (“you are in the herd”) and ready-made answers.
- Minus: It takes away up to 70% of free will and creative energy. A person becomes a “battery,” feeding the system with their suffering, prayers, and sense of guilt.
Is It Possible to Exit?
Since entering a religion is a magical ritual (contract), exiting must also be a conscious act of will. This is called dissociation or refusal of the offer. A person declares to the Universe that they are breaking contracts with intermediaries and taking responsibility for their Soul upon themselves, restoring a direct connection with their Ancestry.

I lived and studied abroad in New Zealand, taking English language courses. I lived and worked in South Korea in the fields and at sea. In total, I’ve visited four different countries, different from those where Russian is spoken. I’ve interacted with people from at least 20 different cultures, religions, and faiths. I share my experiences on my blog. I try not to judge or make any judgments, but I do draw conclusions.
