I don't know if you get what I was trying to express. Religion is the 'tool' that people can use to get other people to do things they might not do on their own.
Oh, I understand. You're talking about the union of church and State, where the church's priests are used as State intellectuals to justify the State's enslavement of the populace.
But the problem in that situation is not the church, but the coercive power of the State. If the church is strictly a voluntary organization, there's no slavery involved.
You, for example: are you a slave to the church?
"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain--that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist." --Lysander Spooner, 1867
