Organized Religon is a control mechanism that humanity no longer needs.
If you just take a tiny look at what is happening right now, I'd say humanity definitely needs it. Religion merely became powerless to help with it, but the need to make people behave properly definitely is there.
A) religion is behind what's happening right now. Evangelicals own the country and Project 2025'd it. The religious are genociding Gaza. Religion can suck a whole mess of dicks.
B) If people need an external daddy figure to make them be good, they aren't good to begin with. And typically the religious are much worse people than agnostics or atheists, who seem to find it possible to find and rely on intrinsic understandings of good and bad.
C) Religion is not necessary for faith or belief. It's just the human corruption and power consolidation of it.
We need action... no more words. We need self and human respect no more than that. I love a song by Metallica... Kil Em all Sorry for that but its what i am feeling
