  • As someone who was raised religiously I completely disagree with you here. Stripping away people’s religion may be difficult or an untenable position for building a worker’s movement, as such it needs to be handled delicately. However, because of religion and religious activities related to I have deeply onset psychological issues related to seeing myself and engaging with others.

    I didn’t engage with natural exploration in adolescence due to my Christianity, and natural desires and impulses caused extreme psychological distress for me. Furthermore, the conception of original sin being passed down into every child from birth can be and was damaging to young children’s self esteem.

    The idea that you have something fundamentally wrong with you that you can only get rid through unresponsive prayers is psychologically traumatizing.

    Live and let live is not the answer and if you talk to the apostates who leave these religions you’d find many similar attitudes.

    That being said, the chauvinistic tendencies listed above that spawn from many reactionary atheist in the West is additionally harmful, if not more so.
