    What Christianity really is, just like any sect of it such as Mormonism, is a big business. It rakes in money from the gullible in exchange for promising them a wonderous afterlife full of splendor, and all the mormon virgins a man could want to take advantage of. It’s really all just a business.

      What reductionism really is, is taking something that exists across many domains (philosophy, art, history, commerce, mythology, culture, language, law, education, governance, etc.) and reducing it to one domain. Usually to justify an opinion or political view.

        True, and it’s a handy way to show how religion is just a big business, as I aptly demonstrated.
