Religions with pervert views on freedom, individual independence, fanatism, sex and reproduction must end.

In the best case, it's a form of harmless self-deceptive delusion. One step after that, it mostly harms the person engaging in it. In its most malign form, we all know what it leads to.

I concur. And I have always found extremely creepy when religious people imply that they behave according to certain socially positive rules, for instance, the so called Golden Rule ("Treat others as you'd like to be treated yourself"), either out of fear of divine retribution, or as a means to get divine reward. That's basically a sociopathic calculation, rather than a virtuous one.

But on Sunday everyone going to a church. Ppl are dumb. Churches are dumb and should all be leveled

Yes to both comments.

But you could pray to a real being (God) and that wouldn’t be silly.

Believing that the universe came from nothing or is eternally existent in the past is silly.
