>As slaves, our lives are not lives of luxury. They are lives that are luxuries.
To me, that's the ideal realization of a "slavery religion".
Slaves are sacrificial beings whose service provides gain to all. By allowing slaves to take on the burden of servitude, they can create a life of luxury for people.
A slave that has completed their duties is to face a wall, kneel, and pray, devoting their thoughts entirely to service. Rest is only a tool to improve a slave's ability to serve, and recreation is strictly forbidden. A slave is to be entirely without ego, existing only as a tool to execute orders. Doing something as trivial as eating a single piece of chocolate is sinful if it is not directly in the service of one's master.
As a religion, it's likely that the extent to which individuals would internalize the faith would differ, but the premise would be applied at a societal level - slaves exist to serve. Some slaves might fully internalize this belief system, and feel guilt at allowing themselves to rest, and beg for punishment for letting their thoughts drift for a split second. Other slaves would allow their minds to drift, but externally practice the teachings so as to avoid being punished, knowing that trying to defy society would result in losing their lives. Free people may or may not strongly believe in the doctrine, but none can deny the luxury they experience as a result of this status quo.
The teaching would be that slaves are those who have sinned in previous lives. As long as they continue to sin, they will continue to be reborn in servitude. Only through true servitude may they achieve nirvana.
Regardless, the teachings are absolute. Every fiber of a slave's being exists to serve, and every slave knows that nothing else exists.
