Snork.... LOL...
True... I just think that giving people the facts isn't turning them into puppets. I remember an old joke about a missionary who contacts a never before contacted tribe and starts telling the chief about this great new religion and how anyone who doesn't follow it will burn in hell. The chief objects about his ancestors who all died without hearing about this new god Jesus. The missionary reassures the chief that anyone who dies without having heard about it would not be punished. So, the chief kills the missionary. That way the only person in his tribe who will be damned is himself. All of his ancestors and descendants will be in heaven.
