How does it make Christians feel to know the ruling class has always used religion to subjugate the peasants?

To keep the downtrodden subjugated and keep the subjugated downtrodden; that's the true purpose of organized religion. Manipulate the peasants with scary myths about inescapable judgment and eternal torture in a mythical afterlife realm and make them pay a tithe, make them pay for their own subjugation; organized religion is an elegant system but so callous and cold in its treatment of human beings. It can turn an intelligent and curious child into a scared superstitious moron preaching, "The end is nigh!" to anyone dumb enough to listen. These are the truths Christians refuse to acknowledge; these are the truths that Christians realize with their dying breath, their last seconds of consciousness before they die, right?
