It's not just a feeling that's actually what has been happening. People literally make up religions to take advantage of taxes and people's stupidity. Fear is their primary way of roping you into their cult, along with other sinister ways which include but not limited to guilt, psychological blackmail, deception, fake promises, telling you what you want to hear, threat of excommunication from your friends and family, financial dependancy, threat of physical violence etc.
Not to mention these people perform some bizzare and often harmful rituals including killing in the name of their God.
People literally blow themselves up and chop off people's heads because their God commanded them to do it.
Here is a latest example.

biggest death cults have been atheist/antitheist regimes. and why not be 'cleansed of the 'lesser evolved' ?
