Re: Ankap! Never hold a belching contest with a dragon.
I see... I was thinking more individual level even they just wait for a god to make things happen for them and they attribute everything that happens to him.

Every "religious" figure in history has brought freedom to people. They weren't regarded as hero's for nothing. People only follow blindly when they don't understand the achievements of that political figure in history.

We do not choose to be born.
We do not choose our parents,
Or our times or country of birth,
Or the circumstances of our upbringing.
We do not – most of us – choose to die
But within all this realm of choicelessness
We do choose how we shall live –
Courageously or in cowardice,
Honorably or dishonorably,
With purpose or adrift.
We decide what is important and what is trivial,
What makes us significant is what we do,
Or refuse to do.
We decide and we choose
And so we give definition to ourselves.
