Religion and Mankind have always co-existed and one depending on the other. In the “Leviathan” Thomas Hobbes describes religion as something created by man, though it may also be said it was discovered or gifted to Mankind, for its benefit and something essential to him. However the title “Leviathan” the word meaning a enormous sea monster from Hebrew myth, reflects the scale and ambiguous threat of it.
It can be said this Leviathan, created or contacted by man with the hope of transcendence, enlightenment and unity with a greater being has been corrupted and this new Leviathan now created by Man enslaves Humanity.
