Whether there is a God or not and consequently whether he sent his son to earth or not is besides the point. For as long as the vast majority of humans are stupid, lazy, greedy, whatever, religion is necessary. If it is necessary to rein in the evil inherent in human nature, then a good religion must be chosen for (by wise leaders) and accepted by the people (through efficient propaganda). Truth has absolutely nothing to do with it. However, to serve its purpose, religion - especially the part about going to hell if one does bad things on earth - must appear to the swinish multitude to be true. That is how you control them ahem I mean rein in their evil instincts.
“Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.”
