1.     What functions religion may have?

Religion has many functions.
I will divide it as positive and negative.
First, it is positive.
1. Relieving anxiety
2. Providing comfort
3. Standardized organization
4. Regulation of behavior against gentiles through morality (may be negative)
Negative thing.
1. Justification of War
2. The use of aggression (missionaries first came to the Americas)
3. Non-regular conversation in the form of 'social dialect'




2.    Can you think of other examples in how religion can be used to control people?
The most representative example is to refrain from food. Hindus say that they sacrifice cows and eat them, and Muslims do not eat pigs because they are bad. Long-term international flights allow you to apply for religious food. Christianity can not drink.
Finally, a person who has a job related to religion can not act in unethical ways
