You can eat meat whenever you want, but not during these 40 days. If thats ok with you peasants of course. Just as long as you come in and put your money in the basket. Thats all I'm asking for.

I agree that religion has been abused for power struggles, and other selfish reasons, quite often. But that, in itself, doesn't prove that no religious truth, no God, etc., exists.

Say, don't you think you should spell "God" with a capital "G"? Since you don't believe in God, this is nothing sacred to you, but in this context, the word is used a proper name.
