Core Insight:
According to Osho, all organized religions depend on universal conditionings of guilt and fear to control people: they label natural joys as sins, threaten hell, and thus keep masses obedient and miserable. They also enforce monogamy and ban divorce, which breeds jealousy, monotony, and hypocrisy (e.g., prostitution). These strategies are common across traditions—Christianity merely states them more bluntly—because they nourish priestly power.
