Religion is a social control device. Take the Church's stance on polygamy and prophylactics for example. The reason most religions or relgions look down their nose at polygamy is because if the goal is to find “the one” – the girl or guy that’s right for you, and have a family and settle down and not cause a ruckus, you’ll spend so much of your life working to that end that you won’t notice what’s actually going on.
