All religion and non-religion is a matter of choice. What we think of a religion when we choose one is that it is good for us. When some of us choose to not accept and believe religion that is our right as free people. Non-religion is good for us as well. Demanding and forcing me to believe in a religion is fascist.
Do not force me to take your religion, and I will not force you to reject your religion. Example: Dominionism is fascist.
The truth is that religion preys on people in many ways.
Religions are GOOD for people using it, I grant that. It's bad for them too. Some good comes from the various religions, but what I witness in the world of 2018 is UGLY, SICK, PERVERTED, like the Catholic Church and Evangelical / church support for a bastard like Donald Trump, prove me right EVERY DAY!
There is more bad coming from religion than good. I.m sorry if the truth offends people of faith, truly. The facts are the truth however.
We see it every day. Organized religion, cult religions, spontaneous/pop-up religions, dis-organized religions, these all abuse th weak, poor, and ignorant people who buy their magical, hope-filled illusions that the meek shall inherit the Earth. No, the rich own the Earth and will never give it up to the poor!
Religion is FAKE!
Only the spirituality of individuals is real. SPIRITUALITY IS REAL! GOODNESS AND KINDNESS IS REAL.
Giving your money to organized religion feeds the fakes, makes Catholic priests VERY comfortable, inspires the Evangelicals, and helps cults take your lives down a path to oblivion.
I do not need a huge list to prove the point, just one Bible story abut how God literally murdered everyone on the planet to cleanse mankind of sin. This version of religion is so sick it praises the biggest mass murder ever!
The supreme leader decided to be judge, jury, and executioner for all mankind/womankind, and even a lot of defenseless, innocent animals that could not get on the imaginary arch.oo bad for mankind though.
Even the creative mind that made up the story of Noah's Arc was a sick bastard.
"Proof that religion is a man-made device and why it is outdated *this article mainly uses Christianity" [Obviously we can cover Islam and Hindu, etc - all religions do the same stuff.]

I will grant hat many people NEED religion to make their lives tolerable, That does not make religion good or real. You can read this article for a rational approach to the imaginary stuff in religion.
"Is Religion Fiction?"
If Jesus never lived, it would be another shocking example of religious fakery.

"In History, Jesus Was a No Show
Various historical scholars attempted to authenticate Jesus in the historical record, particularly in the work of Jesus-era writers. Michael Paulkovich revived this project as summarized in the current issue of Free Inquiry.
Paulkovich found an astonishing absence of evidence for the existence of Jesus in history."
OK, what else. How about Mormons?
"We may not know for sure what happened two millennia ago but Mormonism was fabricated in plain sight by a convicted conman. According to Christopher Hitchens (1):
"In March, 1826, a court in Bainbridge, New York, convicted a 21-year-old man of being a “disorderly person and an impostor.” That ought to have been all we ever heard of Joseph Smith, who at trial admitted to defrauding citizens by organizing mad gold-digging expeditions and also to claiming to possess dark or 'necromantic' powers."
Hitchens writes: “Quite recent scholarship has exposed every single other Mormon “document” as at best a scrawny compromise and at worst a pitiful fake."
Moving on . . . The difference between a snake oil salesman and organized religion is non-existent. Both claim to do good for you.

"If You’re a Christian, Muslim or Jew - You are Wrong"

"We live in a twisted world, where right is wrong and wrong reigns supreme. It is a chilling fact that most of the world’s leaders believe in nonsensical fairytales about the nature of reality. They believe in Gods that do not exist, and religions that could not possibly be true. We are driven to war after war, violence on top of violence to appease madmen who believe in gory mythologies. These men are called Christians, Muslims and Jews.
Osama bin Laden is insane. He believes God whispered in the ear of Mohammed 1,400 years ago about how he should conquer Arabia. Mohammed was a pure charlatan — and a good one at that. He makes present religious frauds like Pat Robertson look like amateurs.
He said God told him to have sex with as many of the women he met as possible. I’m sorry, I meant to say “take them as wives.” God told him to kill all other tribes that stood in his way or that would not placate him with assurances of loyalty or bribes. God told him, conveniently, that everyone should follow him and never question a word he said."
Christians, especially Catholic pedophiles, and Jews and cult leaders do the same all the time.
