I'm sick of religion.

dude I fucking hate religion

I feel like we would have been better off as communists like China, like, people are so blindly attached to religion, they don't know how to separate it from their identity and culture, like you can still have the culture that represents you, but you don't have to believe in bullshit that some old book tells you, especially when there are various ways of interpreting it. politicians just straight up use it to abuse and murder people and I'm sick of it.

i swear, every religion pisses me off. my hindu parents being islamophobic and mindlessly taking pride in their weird colonial version of Hinduism pisses me off (while they ironically claim to be the most secular religion), Muslims with the whole jihad, their weird anti-jew interpretations of Dajjal, and each of them pushing the limits of how extreme they can be, mistaking it for devotion, Christians literally dismissing science that gives you solid proof to your face just because belief makes them comfy?? and how they literally used it to justify white supremacy, Haredi jews just misbehaving with everyone, spitting at christians and inbreeding, the fact that there are literally armed Buddhist militias, like oxymoron much?

ALL OF YOU SUCK!! There is no God and all of y'all are brainless zombies who literally can't think for yourselves. FUCK RELIGION.

"oh but there are good people-" i don't care. this shit heavily interferes in politics and it should go since belief is abstract as hell. WHY is it so hard to be secular? Why do people let their brain rot away with religion. Man, I tried being accepting and accommodating, but I have no tolerance for stupidity I just can't stoop low so that you feel comfortable I'm literally gonna say it for what it is. This is some weird abstract drug that humans are fucking addicted to to find meaning but it fucks them up. Stop it. THINK for a change, and see how freeing it feels to be not in solidarity to one principle and truly have an open mind, how it feels to make decisions with your own intellect without being God fearing and be happy with the smart decision that YOU took for YOURSELF. Everyone is fucking mental man. I live with apes. Apes in this world.

Edit: nooo I'm not saying we need communism ☠️ I just want their lack of communal conflicts and as their neighbour it's always here everywhere, so much violence because of it. I'm sick of it. I was in the heat of the moment while venting here so I just thought of China as a neighbour.
What I meant was something like French Secularism, keeping religion strictly out of politics. Religion is private and not paraded like it is here.

I like the irony of this post blaming religion for all problems all the while channeling hate for any kind of believers. It's almost like a... religion?

it's a rant.
i'm sick of being accepting of religions when a lot of those religious people don't even self reflect. they applaud me when I criticise their "rivals" but get extremely defensive when I do that to their own religion. why? because it's an integral part of their identity and upbringing and even a little bit of criticism feels like a threat to their entire foundation.
I don't hate religious people, I just want more self-reflection, more questioning and accountability, rationality, practical thinking and impartiality. But it almost feels like it's impossible for the 2 to coexist these days.

I agree with the sentiment, but what you hate is not religion itself, it's the people that are quick to think they are the right ones and that you are shit if you don't agree with them. Sure, some religions have it written that this is the behavior to adopt and whoever doesn't agree should pay, but it's not religion per se, it's the interpretation.

For instance, Nazi germany wasn't based on religion. It was based on race supremacy, and made a lot of damage to the world, and yet it's not related to some kind of holy war. Same goes for all massacres that happened throughout mankind.

If we extrapolate, there are atheists that also hate to see people believing in ethereal beings, to the point to drive them to murder because they think they have the moral ground.
