CMV: Religion has absolutely no place in a modern society.

Religion has had some good in the past, when people where absolutely ignorant about the world. It used to be a great tool to answer unsolvable mysteries and guide people who had no idea what the fuck life was about.

However, it has also ALWAYS been about controlling the masses and brainwashing. These poor people constantly living in fear of chastisement by some infinitely powerful being. You better act nice now, or (insert your divinity here) will fuck you up for eternity!

Oh what's that? You guys believe in a different god than us? Looks like it's time for a god damn blood bath! But sure, religions are about peace and kindness, unless you don't believe in the right one.

Also I already see you guys coming with the "oh but don't put all the apples in the same basket, there's some bad religious people, but there are some good ones too!!" 

Fuck that bro. The actions of those bad apples far outweigh the positive aspects of the good ones. Yes some religious people contribute to charity and stuff, but do you really need religion for that? Can't you just be a good person without it?

Also, how is no one calling them cults? It's the same fucking thing. If some nutjob claims to be the son of a god today, everyone laughs at him and calls him crazy, cause he is, but sometimes he gets a following and we're all like "well clearly this is a cult. These people are fucking stupid to believe that this guy is any kind of divinity whatsoever". How many of the ones who laugh at cults are actually religious? I'd bet it's a fuckton of'em, but sure, fuck introspection and let's all be hypocrites.

My final point now, some of you may argue that religion is also about spirituality and trying to better yourself as a person, it's a moral compass. Again, fuck that shit! You don't need a fucking cult leader who's been dead for thousands of years to tell you how to act. We have social norms and things that are acceptable and things that aren't. Just be a fucking adult and reflect on your actions and thoughts and better yourself that way. Most religious people, as I said earlier, only follow that "moral compass" to escape an imminent doom when they die, not to actually be good people. They do it out of fear, and I don't think that makes you a good person, that makes you a coward who's scared of something nonexistent.

Religion should and needs to be abolished, but of course that'll never happen. Oh well.

Tl/Dr : Religions are about controlling people, have been and always will be a source of violence and hatred. They are cults and need to be abolished.

Edit: Just to clarify, I do not wish any harm or hatred towards any religious people and I am for letting people belive what they want to, live and let live. However I just think religion shouldn't be a part of our society ANYMORE. I am against religion as a CONCEPT in a MODERN society. Not against religious PEOPLE. I know religion was a pillar of humanity IN THE PAST. I do not think it is still required TODAY.

Thank you for your time everyone, there are some insghtful comments that made me reflect and I did soften my view on the subject. "Abolishing" religion was a poor choice of words, it should just die out slowly while only keeping the positive morals of it, through education. However, my view is not changed.

Edit 2: Guys, I stopped carring about the post after 100 comments, stop private messaging me, I'm not going to answer lmao.

Atheist or religious, people just need to mind their own fucking business. I’m tired of ignorant religious people and condescending atheists. Seriously worry about yourself and be respectful of other people’s beliefs.
