POSITIVE SIDE OF RELIGION
4. MYTHOLOGY
Religions often teach myths and falsehood as a truth.
Creationsm and the GREAT FLOOD have been disproves for
hundred years (46% of Americans believe the earth was
created in last 10,000 years and 60% believe in the literal
GREAT FLOOD) and particular ly damaging example is the
concept that mankind was kicked out of the Garden of Eden,
that implies that the earth is a prison, and does not deserve to
be respected.
5. Teaches Conformity
Religions teach not to question their teachings. Arhamic
religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) teash that mankind is
literally punished and suffer disease and death due to thinking.
Teaching against gaining knowledge and having independent thought
leads to black and white thinking in all aspects of life, lsuch as
immigration is bad, lower/higher taxes for wealthy result in a stronger
economy or guns cause/prevent crime.
8. RESOURCE CONSUMPTION
Religions are huge consumer of resources. There are
nearly three times the number of churches than a gas station.
In addition, $93 billion is donated in per year. This dwarfed by
the $111 billion per week in manpower consumed by church
attendance. It could not be overstated the effect this money
and resources would have combating the homelessness,
hunger, or even unemployment
9. RITUALS
Religions come with ritualistic dogma. Circumcision,
Baptist, confirmation, fasting and dietary restrictions.. Etc are
all common Although many of these may not directly caus
harm, Some are directly harmful, such as drinking poison,
snake handling ..etc.
