Lying and manipulating people sounds very much like religion
i'm sorry you have received bad impressions from religion in general, but lying and manipulating are sinful and despicable acts that no true Christian endorses (i'm not generalizing here, if you consider yourself a true Christian and DO endorse these things you are violating the Bible's teachings).
he is taking advantage of people blindly involved in religion. religion isn't the problem; the people following their own religions blindly are embracing it and he chooses to manipulate in this way because he can do it easily; however he is the main problem and if he believed in any mainstream religion, he would not be able to do this without violating its teachings and/or provoking some sort of divine punishment. if there was no religion, this guy could probably think of other ways to do such worldly things as lie and manipulate. religion is not in anyway the problem here.
i agree wholeheartedly with Irish Farmer's perspectives in this case, plus my two cents above.
