Summary

This quote suggests that among all the different forms of oppression that humanity faces, the most insidious and damaging is the oppression exerted through religion. It implies that religious tyranny holds a unique power over individuals, as it can manipulate beliefs, control actions, and suppress freedom of thought. This form of tyranny is particularly detrimental because it intersects with personal convictions and spirituality, making it highly influential and potentially dangerous to individual autonomy and a free society.
