Worship?

And Mr Ra did mentioned that whenever "STO" material exist, it's "loyal opposition" the STS material will also exist, "enhancing" the materials.
Thus both are available, as catalyst, for any entity to choose.
One just need to see the 'pattern' and not to be confused on which is which.

I completely agree about the need for discernment for determining which parts of each religion are designed for serving others and which are designed for serving the self. But I think it's important to not limit the idea of a religion to just dogma, control, and exclusivity. That's giving the service-to-self faction full control over the word religion (and thus religious people) which is what they want as opposed to helping religious people choose to serve others within their chosen worldview which will naturally dismantle the religious control structures in the world.

Religion is a social-cultural system of designated behaviors and practices, morals, beliefs, worldviews, texts, sanctified places, prophecies, ethics, or organizations, that relates humanity to supernatural, transcendental, and spiritual elements; however, there is no scholarly consensus over what precisely constitutes a religion.

Religion itself is a very generic word, and I think it's more helpful to the world to not use our thought energy to bucket all religions and religious people into fear and control but rather use our thought energy to appreciate the good they do bring to the table. Most people who are religious will agree that their ideal is to be loving, peaceful, humble, and serving others. Rather than clashing over worldviews or paradigms and using energy to focus on how flawed others are, I think it's more helpful to our religious selves to love them, accept them, and help them be who they claim they want to be. Whether one believes Muhammed is the last true prophet or if Jesus is truly God isn't that important, in my opinion, compared to helping everyone learn how to love each other despite having differences of perspective.
