The concept of God is a means of teaching society right and wrong
Religion is a means of controlling the masses and keeping them calm/preventing rebellion
No. It's a religion.
For it to be a philosophy, you must isolate the philosophical parts, the rest are bullshit

I would have to say Christianity is most definitely religion, if we are going by this definition

I mean, think about medieval Europe. Christianity was exactly that. Except that it was used to wage war in the 11th century. Still, controlling the masses, however.
But I also believe the beliefs in Christianity, classify as Philosophy.
So in it's own way, both?

Jesus, as described in the holy books, does not exist. Ergo your argument is invalid and quite offensive to those with critical thinking.
