The habit of religion is oppressive, an easy way out of thought.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Religion is just mind control.
Religion is dangerous because it allows human beings who don't have all the answers to think that they do.
To the mass of mankind religion of some kind is a necessity.
People aren't religious because it's easy not to be. Like anything, it's habitual, and once it's a habit it's no longer hard.
Unfortunately, religion, like patriotism, is easy to misuse for political purposes.
I think of religion as something that stains the person. It's a mindset you can never get free from, it's always in the back of your head.
Our civilization, such as it is, was shaped by religion, and the men who aspire to public office anyplace in the free world must make obeisance to God or risk immediate opprobrium.
Religion has caused more harm than any other idea since the beginning of time. There's nothing good I can say about it. People use it as a crutch.
All outward forms of religion are almost useless, and are the causes of endless strife. Believe there is a great power silently working all things for good, behave yourself and never mind the rest.
Religion is never the problem; it's the people who use it to gain power.
