The Shakers, or the Society of United Believers, believed that sin and transgression entered the world through intimacy and sexual intercourse.

The only way the religion lengthened its' life was through new believers or adoption.

What is the point of religion it just gets people to fight?

religion is different for everybody. i dont know why people figth over what religion right when alot of religions tell you to accept people for who they are and what religion they have even if you dont agree with it. This is a very open topic and the arguments could go on forever. You should just be able to believe whatever you want to believe and live that way. i dont think there is any right religion or any right way to act. morals and conscience is all based on religion anyway.
