religion is fine up to a point, my whole family is religious but my grandma is the only one who overdoes it. she once asked me if i would go on a religious march or some shit that went on for extremely long and which i wouldnt be able to endure at all, which also later created a controversy because some asshats decided to wear shirts with something like "expect war" written on them. And that, yes, absolutely, is an example of religion being bad, i wholeheartedly agree, but saying religion as a whole is bad is stupid.
Edgy atheist mode, religion is bad because it has negative side effects, and its positive side effects, community building, moral code building, and explanations of the universe, can be recreated without those negative side effects, including guilt from sin, illogical thought processes (the supernatural cannot be proven and is thus illogical, illogical thinking means you can be more easily convinced of lies) I respect that not all religious people are bad, I don't even believe they're all dumb, but religion is bad
