      No, it is directly a problem. Believing in bullshit because someone in a higher position than you said it with zero fucking evidence is how MANY of humanity’s ills have come about and persist. Religion feeds that idiocy.

      No, it’s not the only route, but it is a HUGE component of people believing things without evidence. That is, unequivocally, an actual, literal, direct problem.

      All religion is baseless bullshit, so yes, it is problematic in itself.
      It is divisive by nature/design.
      And it is made worse by people abusing it for power over others or discrimination.

      at best its a waste of human energy and maybe good for those that require that emotional crutch

      your argument is the same for guns, which we as a species should also mature out of
