Yes. A Sorcerous magic trick to evoke consent, you see, give your free will away to "God", only serving to make you less conscious and more suggestible/mechanistic. All part of a wider system of control.

How else can you get people to enslave themselves building temples and monuments to foreign gods?

Do you pray to yourself? Only if you think you can answer all your prayers.

Personally I don't pray in the traditional sense, but if I did I'd be praying to myself, just as you do.

Yes. To the people @ the top, it's all just part of the "business of life", as they say. Most people would not be able to conceive of how differently they think to the people who are "plugged into" the system.

One constant in all religion is magic-trickery and money, though.

I think you overestimate yourself. If you are not searching for answers you are not growing in any shape form or fashion.

That sort of 'wisdom' is full of pride.
