the original purpose of marriage is selling women as property, and religion reinforces that

and tbh it doesn’t matter if it was or not bc that’s how it’s been used for literally hundreds of years. and every religious person in these comments not acknowledging that and instead acting like you PERSONALLY said they could no longer believe in god or w/e is soooooo incredibly telling

Counter point: men need to be controlled, and so do women. Humans as a whole, when left without guidance, tend to not go well.

the control should not come from some invisible entity that people worship and donate to institutions that facilitate so many harmful programs

On the first part, why not? (Obv I agree that institutions shouldn’t facilitate harm)

it’s too easy to manipulate things like an entity people just believe in the bible has been rewritten at least hundreds of times

The history of atheist states such as the USSR and Maoist china, which entirely visible and non-theistic power structures, does not seem to indicate that it is effective at preventing corruption by any means. Source for the Bible rewrite please, thats a massive claim

Two things can be true at once. Yeah, religious institutions do a lot of good by the means of charity and giving people hope. But they can also spit out things like conversion therapy. And as someone who was raised catholic, it did so much damage to my psyche in regard to death anxiety. The idea of going to hell for one small sin that I might not be aware of made me cry myself to sleep often as a kid

most of their charities are mission trips that are really just them, forcing their religion onto impoverished communities without providing actual humanitarian help
