actually I feel it is the same. A belief system that tells you to be satisfied with your lot in life and to not challenge authority because it will be better after you die.
Religion is not the cause for those promises, its human nature that makes us want those kinds of things and believe in them in hope that if we do they will be true.
That is somewhat true , but there are people out there who are genuinely concerned with peoples souls and etc and are not there to just control you 8P

Whether the reward is a better caste upon re-birth or an eternity of picnics and sunshine, they are still offering something that is too good to be true in exchange for my complacency and obedience.
Okay id just like to point out the fact that the caste system was obliterated quite some time ago
And ill also have to point out that my religion actually promises that if the gods and goddess feel that you need to be re-born as a slave they will make that happen if it means your soul will learn a valuable lesson or etc.
However we also have an eternal paradise so I have nothing for that last part
So in essence maybe it is to good to be true, but im inclined to believe otherwise
