Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
Despite the strides of modern science, humanity is still besieged and enslaved by ancient modes of thought. Religion and occultism, which both stem from primordial paganism, should logically have been stamped out by now.
Instead, the masses “believe” whatever religion is culturally imposed on them — with little or no understanding of its origins and meanings. Meanwhile, our elite indulge in a perverse occultism — propagated within secret societies such as Freemasonry — which affirms their “superiority” over the ignorant masses and sanctifies their most brutal misdeeds.
Foremost among those misdeeds is the act of war — pitting the masses against each other under contrived pretenses. To the elite we are literally herds of cattle, to be either milked or slaughtered at their will. It should come as no surprise, then, that the horror of 9/11 was planned and orchestrated by our own occultist elite. For them this was just another day at the office (or second grade, in the case of Bush).
Of all the threats to elitism over the centuries, none has been greater than that posed by Marxism-Leninism. Lenin, in particular, conceived of a society free from religion (and the sinister, occult variations adopted by the elite). Once the mental chains of religion are broken, so is the elites’ hypnotic power over the masses. The economic and class structures providing unwarranted privilege are then in imminent jeopardy.
Today there is a fledgling movement towards “resource-based economy” called Zeitgeist, which has much in common with Marxism. This ideology holds that scarcity of resources is a contrived state meant to keep the masses struggling and subservient. Religion and war are likewise seen as contrivances of elitism.
These concepts are expounded in the worthwhile video Zeitgeist: Final Edition, offered below for your consideration. One can excuse the somewhat cult-like quality of Zeitgeist, considering there is no cult worse than the one of greed and war, occultism and religion, that dominates America today.

Rather, vice-versa. And seeing who benefits from the chains required unmotivated cognition: cleverness requires cleverness to see through. Now that elite mirages are failing so rapidly the religious scales start to fall.
Of course, they grow more brutal. Is scarcity now their fear or their delusion? I think the transparency of their brutality indicates the former is the case. Eco-socialism requires the acceptance of resource limitations and elimination of the capitalist delusion of abundance.

Hate to interject a note of historical reality into you little dialogue, but history would beg to differ with both of your conjectures.
In the long historical perspective, the worse things get, the more power and influence Horus has over the human mind.
Myths are eternal, and only change stage paint and wardrobes from crisis to crisis and age to age.
But please return to your dialogue, it’s a real cliff hanger.
Neither myth nor myth-makers are eternal. Even human myth-making must come to an end.
So, name your historical example and we shall see that it was not Horus in power under chaos but the murderers. Know ye them, com…rade?
Because metaphor communicates directly to the emotions and the intuition, and myth (stories), rituals (drama, with music and dance), and symbols (art) are the repositories of metaphor.
Even the worship of Reason became a religion.
The difficulties with religions come when the metaphors are mistaken for reality. Or when the stories, drama, and art close off the mind to new information. That generally happens when religions “get organized” and start trying to defend themselves against other religions through the use of logic. Metaphors don’t need logic; all they need is association. Add logic and myth gets corrupted into allegory, rituals become devoid of emotional commitment, and art becomes advertising.
What we see with the major religions most familiar to Americans are sects that most asserted logic in defense of religion against the challenges of science and the cultural demythologization that goes by the name “modernity”. So fundamentalist Protestantism seeks to apply logic to defend the reality of prophecy (in their narrow sense of “foretelling”) by drawing logical comparisons between the Book of Daniel, other Old Testament apocalyptic passsages, and the Book of Revelation. And then drawing a logical comparison with current events. No wonder it comes out mush.
Meanwhile, religion slips its logical and organizational chains and shows up in Guy Fawkes masks or piles of teddy bears near sites of tragedy or buried in hip-hop lyrics or occasionally (rarely) in film or on the stage.
A man without religion is like a fish without a hook.
