History begs to differ.
Massive central power of any kind can and will control you. Religious has had its time in the sun, right now for the moment it is "science".
Come to think of it it was not religion or "science" that has done either of the controlling, it has been government using both of those titles in the name of "the greater good".
Once again government control rears its ugly head and yet people think they are still there to help us.
Yes, I was referring to the current western world. I am aware of the Catholic church's past.
It's always governments that do the killing and the pillaging. Countries wage war between each other, causing misery and famine. The governants send their pawns to war in the name of religion—in the past—or democracy—now.
There's an excellent book by Hans-Hermann Hoppe titled "Democracy: the God that failed". It explains how democracy works, and how democratic governments keeps expanding their power.
It also explains how the whole government thing started. Tribes conquered other tribes. Instead stealing everything from the conquered, the winners subjugated the losers. Then, they made them pay periodic ransoms. It was more profitable this way. That's how governments operated since the dawn of time.
Is living without government an utopistic ideal? Yes. But spreading the ideas is a start. If enough people want to secede from the government it might happen in the future.
