Regrettably it probably needs to be said explicitly, but religion is not the sole domain of the false god. Any artificially enforced social structure can be utilized for the same purposes by those who worship power, to convince others to behave in ways antagonistic to their own beliefs. A personal relationship with the one true God is the only real solution to this. If you wait for others to explain things to you, instead of learning more about how our world works for yourself, you will be used by someone.
Also a reminder of something said a very long time ago now: They lack the ability to create things themselves, as they believe in nothing. Even those tools they use do actually have a real and meaningful purpose for which they were originally created.
Yes, that's the idea.
