57. I imagine we've all got within us, as humans, that urge

to oppress - hopefully in lesser quantity than the urge to free and be free.

As an instrument for humans, religions follow each of those urges at times. Not just one, and not just the other sometimes. For so many of us, religion has been a tool to guide us toward care for others and toward social justice.
