Asking religion to stop controlling your free will means you are not being a member. There is no group, society, club, or organisation you will ever join and expect to follow your absolute free mind (thoughts).
grip, religion cannot control a person's free will in such absolute terms. kila mtu hudecide what to obey and what not to obey for their own reasons.

i need to clarify kitu kimoja, there's no such thing as an objective fact called religion which dictates to us what to do. there are millions of people with millions of interpretations of their religion. so as far as following religion goes, i can choose to follow any one of the millions of interpretations and still claim to be following my religion.

there's conscience and there's personal responsibility. that's enough for me.
