Religion is destroying the world.

No, I firmly mean religion is destroying the world. Religion is not good because it promotes unfounded ideas as universal truths and then they cannot be questioned and people do whatever it takes to defend and impose those unfounded ideas. Mnay o these ideas and premises affect people unjustly like LGBT people and women.

By "the world" I'm sure you mean "human civilization" considering this rock we live on doesn't care what we teach our kids on it.. while THAT is an arguable possibility, it's really misdirected because "religion" as a concept is what formed our civilization in the first place. In the end it doesn't matter if we still call it "God" or not, it's a colorful explanation of the human condition through the ages. I am not religious but I recognize that the community around me wouldn't have been born without it. I'm sorry I definitely feel you, there is so much in current affairs to be in outrage over, it's just not conducive to swing the bat at "religion" when in fact there are droves of devout religious human beings who's ideals DO stand alongside yours in the better treatment of others.
