I have a feeling that this post suffers a good bit in its "translation".
No, no it's accurate. For the longest time people lived a crappy existence that they had no control over, and a pleasant afterlife was the only thing that they had to look forward to, so they fell onto religion. At least then they could make some effort at something and be seen to be doing something. The churches were able to make profit out of this too - so it was a win-win.
I have a feeling this post suffers a good bit in its bias and interpretation.
