Summary/Abstract: How much of what we live is ours – the clear, natural, pure result of our own thoughts, decisions, options, values, life strategies? And how much of our life is manipulation? As a political journalist I well know manipulation, because it is the queentechnique of mass-media and politics. But is there a good manipulation, too? Do we feel the need to be manipulated, because the truth is not always that desirable? If we want to understand the profound mechanism of manipulation, I dare you to look for it not in the usual places we are used to finding it, but in a taboo area, where few enter with the critical eye open – religion.
