They highlight how religious movements throughout history have sought to dominate through institutions, often blending faith with political or cultural power. The conversation explores the danger of leaders who claim unique spiritual authority and the way these systems create dependency through fear and promises of blessing.br br They also examine historical events, such as oil politics in the Middle East, and how cultural misunderstandings helped shape modern dynamics.
