Is Religion A Mental Illness?

[The Cummunist State]

This was more or less the point I was trying to address. Categorizing religion as a mental illness based on how bad some religious people have been in the past, given atheism's spotty history, isn't exactly fair. Neither Christianity nor any other religion can get on its moral high horse, because guess what? Our belief systems' (and I include atheism as a "belief system" given that the existence or nonexistence of God is necessarily beyond proof) adherents have all done things any rational person should be ashamed of.

I'm not sure this entire thread isn't asking for trouble, tbh, but that's a mod decision, not mine.

Atheism is not a belief system. It has 0 beliefs. It does not even actively claim that deities don't exist. All it does is avoid the claim that deities exist. Not the same, in case you're tempted to make the common misconception that lack of belief in the existence of something = actively believe that something does not exist. So what history can atheism have, much less, a spotty one?

I find religion to be stupid personally, but don't consider having one as having a mental illness.

Hey, I agree it isn't, but majority has nothing to do with that.

Except, that isn't true. More than 10% of people are atheists.

He was making a joke by twisting your words to make it appear as though you actually meant that religious people were mentally ill but got the percentages incorrect.

That's like saying people who didn't do Slavery in the US were the minority, therefore, slavery should still be around today. No. Militant Christians are wrong and it doesn't matter how many of them there are, they need to be quiet and keep their beliefs to themselves, like everyone else.

[Sanshas Nation]

I find Religion to be stupid, and those who follow it the most gullible idiots I know. But it isn't a mental illness, only an invention of the human mind to explain why and how things work, because they were too lazy for science.

Honestly, I don't give a shit where you're from or what language you speak. You want to speak to me in English you damn well better know it before trying to insult me.
