    No, religion as a concept is incompatible with civilized life. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism etc. all make human life on earth objectively worse. Whether they are the origin or just an outlet for human depravity doesn‘t matter, they all need to be left in the past. Or the past with all its wars and suffering will not leave us.

      Nonsense. They also uplift people and do a lot of good in the world. Billions of people find benefits in religion. The problem is human nature.

        Yes, human nature being susceptible to violent propaganda from religious groups that deliberately creates in-groups and demonizes out-groups which leads to war and genocide at the behest of the rich who are the only beneficiaries.
