Religion as a Tool of Power | From History to Social Media Influencers||

Описание: In this video, I critically discuss how religion has been used for self-interest throughout history and how this practice continues today in different forms.

Historically, religion has often been used by political leaders to gain legitimacy, control public opinion, and strengthen their power. From earlier civilizations to modern states, religious identity has been turned into a political tool rather than a moral guide.

In the context of Pakistan and the wider world, political leaders have repeatedly used religion to:
• Gain votes
• Silence opposition
• Distract people from real issues like justice, development, and basic rights

Today, this misuse has taken a new digital form.
Many social media influencers, journalists, and online preachers use religious content to increase:
• Viewership
• Followers
• Monetization and personal income

Instead of promoting ethics and unity, such content often spreads:
• Negativity
• Sectarian hate
• Polarization in society

This video explains:
✔ The historical background of religious misuse
✔ How political leaders benefit from religious narratives
✔ How social media rewards hate-based content
✔ The social impact of such narratives on peace and unity

The purpose of this video is awareness, not hate.
True religion teaches justice, accountability, and humanity, not division.
