He considered religion as a whole quite irrational and an institution that encouraged irrational thinking, which paved the way for the coercion of the masses. He said as long as supernatural beliefs persist, men can be exploited by cunning priests and oligarchs, and the technical progress which is the prerequisite of a just society cannot be achieved

George Orwell was critical of organized religion and saw it as a tool for power and control. He believed that religion could be used to manipulate and oppress people, particularly by those in positions of authority. Orwell also expressed skepticism towards the influence of religion on society, often emphasizing the importance of individual critical thinking.
