“It’s a system of control”- Pascaline Edwards questions organised religion

Ghanaian actress Pascaline Edwards has shared a critical perspective on organised religion, arguing that it often veers away from genuine spiritual guidance and becomes a tool for imposing personal beliefs on others.

In an interview with ZionFelix, the veteran film star explained that she does not subscribe to structured religious systems, which she believes can function more like a mechanism for gathering followers and promoting individual agendas under the guise of divine truth.

According to Edwards, the practice of religion frequently shifts from fostering a direct, personal relationship with God to a system where leaders impose their own ideas and label them as religious doctrine.

Her remarks add to a growing public conversation about the role and authenticity of religious practice in contemporary society.
