1.An outdated system of explaining how the universe works, which provides absolutely no evidence for huge and absurd claims.
2. Bullshit stories, which surprisingly, and depressingly, even intelligent people believe in.
3. The most common and dangerous mental illness ever conceived, thanks a lot god.

Religion poisons everything.
by The Generic WoLF January 24, 2017
Any irrational system of belief and veneration, commonly involving God(s), that relies on baseless articles of faith as found in holy scriptures and/or espoused by self proclaimed spokespeople for God(s).
Despite Christianity being properly defined as a religion many of it's adherents refuse to accept that it is a religion, like any other.

Contagious form of schizophrenia. Also the blame for billions upon billions of murders and countless wars.

A controversial and touchy subject.
Being asked to belief in God with faith is like having to believe in magic. God supposively pre-dated your entire existence, so how exactly are you free to make your own decisions if he already knows every event that will occur in everyone's lifetime? We must be androids after all. God supposively knows when we'll be born, what we'll do in life, and when we'll die. So what's the point of even making a decision when your creator already did it for you, before you were even born? We're all lab rats, the earth is a lab, complete with mazes, and God is like a supreme scientist. Here's the best part, though: God supposively already KNOWS everything you'll do in life, and holds whatever sins you perform against you, albeit the fact that he already KNEW THAT YOU'D PERFORM THEM! I told her I don't go to church because preachers and such preach their views and not God's in the first place. I'd rather not have a group of people try to manipulate me when I already know what I believe. To top it all off, there's so many religions and bibles in the first place, how do you know which ones are the definitive ones? They're all sure that they're the right one.
Basically, what it comes down to is: Do you want to put faith in believing in a supreme being that controls your entire existence, or do you want to neglect it so that it can forcefully send you to hell (if you believe in that sort of thing).
Religion is taught, just like racism, sexism, and blah blah, et cetera..so how do we even know if it's actually valid?

All religions are basically saying the same three things.
1. be moral - do what's in the best interest of your family and in the best interest of society.
2. life is suffering - here's how to deal with it.
3. strive for exclusive ownership at the expense of others.

The cause of most wars in human history. It tries to explain things that we once did not know with now defunct, retarded answers. Most religious people would blindly follow an old book, leader, document, etc... rather than even consider more modern, logical answers. In times now past, it tried to give people hope and understanding, but now it just causes false hope, wars, political unrest and the eventual destruction of human society.
