What is it about religion that drives this quest for power?
What is it about power that it seeks to dignify itself as religion?
Judeo-christian religion, at least, seems to be the process of putting one's words in the mouth of the Ultimate Authority Figure in the sky so everyone will do what you say.

Attributing to a religion the problem that is plainly the fault of the person who uses religion seems dishonest.
When someone uses lies and excuses outside of religion to push their agenda it's the exact same thing as someone using religious lies and excuses to push their agenda. It's the person doing it and not the fault of the religion. Unless, of course, the religion as a whole in some way supports the claims of that person.
