30. Mobilized the poor? I really don't know what you're talking about.
His Sermon on the Mount told the meek to basically shut up and accept that they will be the downtrodden in this life, that their reward was in heaven after they died. He told people not to bother attempting to better their financial status here on Earth, but to worship him and pile up riches in an imaginary heaven.

How did that mobilize anyone to do anything?

Thus are the religious manipulated even today by those of wealth and power.
