“Religions have cleverly turned the rituals of death into solemn, pompous, exaggerated dramas to increase control over the superstitious. Throughout history, priests, mullahs, and rabbis have swarmed around the expiring human like vultures. Death belonged to them……Why? Because if the flock doesn’t fear death, then the grip of religious and political management is broken.”
- Timothy Leary, p. 114 in Design for Dying
