What you are asking requires a rather subjective answer; that is people's opinions. To be objective you would have to consider the facts, and facts are not something that come easily to religion v. Atheism debates.
In the opinion of a religion: It is not "controlling" people, it is showing people the right path and showing them what not to do.
