I think religion is the problem and not just bad people in the same way I think fascism is a problem not just bad people. A collection of people who are discouraged from challenging authority and encouraged to operate on “faith” that the leaders aren’t corrupt is inherently flawed.
It’s not religion that’s the problem. It’s bad people. Religion becomes a vehicle for bad people to do bad things to vulnerable people.
Otherwise go ahead and do your meditations, rain dance, or give to your earth god for all I care.
