The aim of all religions is to kill the false "I" so that the real "I", the Lord, will remain.
5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
"Delivered unto me," get it? Satan is the god of worldly authority. That's why religions are always such a mess.
