Religion is a net positive for humanity, I do truly believe that. Religious institutions have immeasurably improved social cohesion theres no denying that.

There have been numerous studies showing that religious people are happier and more fulfilled than non religious people.

Even with all this, religion is simply just a structure made by humans to fill in the gaps of what they did not know…

a good structure but not a true structure. but most importantly it is an effective structure.

i would be so much happier if i believed that i would live in paradise forever after i died, but i know that’s not true
ignorance is bliss

religion is not a net positive for humanity

honestly don't see anything wrong with it i see mfers achieve a lot so i can never see how it can be a "negative" its just similar to like delusional goals just something to exist for people take nuclear drugs to achieve what a religious person can do by just saying GOD DID.
