Spreading Religion

This is a very interesting video.  It is very cool to see how religion has spread throughout the world over time.  Its strange how they just pop up because of the ideas of one person.  Hinduism is the first to show up.  Because all religions are somewhat similar, I conclude that they all came from the original ideas of Hinduism.  Some might say that this is proof that the Hindu belief is the “right” one, but I say that is false.  It goes to show how the change in different cultures forces religion to change and adapt to fit the people.  This also brings up a new point, that people could be changing religion to fit themselves and not for the higher power.  It could have been used to create the morals for the people of that religion.  It has always been a suspicion of mine that religion is a mind control device, which, if you interpret this video in that way it is a very plausible idea.  Therefore the spread of religion is like a virus, feeding off of the minds of people and adapting to change and becoming stronger and stronger.  The earth could very well have a viral infection known as religion-itis.
