Why Religion Began — And How Belief Became the Most Powerful Tool of Control

Описание: Why did religion begin?
And how did something created to reduce fear slowly become one of the most powerful tools of control in human history?

In this episode of Decoded Buddha | Buddha The Scientist, we explore religion not as blind faith or ritual — but as a psychological and neurological phenomenon.

Using insights from psychology, neuroscience, and human behavior, this video explains:

• How fear shaped the earliest religious beliefs
• Why the human brain seeks certainty and authority
• How belief evolved into obedience
• How rulers used religion to control minds, not just bodies
• Why questioning became dangerous
• How belief turned into inherited identity
• And how Buddha challenged blind belief with awareness and observation

This video is not anti-religion.
It is pro-thinking, pro-awareness, and pro-human freedom.

Buddha never asked people to believe.
He asked them to observe, test, and understand.

That single idea threatened every system built on fear and control.

If this video makes you uncomfortable, that’s not a problem.
Discomfort is often the first step toward awareness.

If belief cannot survive questioning, was it ever meant to be truth?
