The document expresses a critical view of religion, arguing that it leads to misunderstanding and impedes societal progress through its focus on the afterlife and restrictions on material life. It contends that teachings from figures like Jesus, Buddha, and Mohammed promote delusions that detract from rational thought and cooperation essential for human development. The author believes that science offers better solutions for a fulfilling life and that religion often obstructs critical thinking and scientific inquiry.

1. Religion.
Must
End
We

2. I am tired of the noises I hear from churches and
mosques. I think of it as a misunderstanding that the
religions have a lot more followers than they actually
have. I take it as a disrespect to society and a
rejection of social accord. I think we must end
religion. I mean, what good it does to us and humanity
to fall for the delusions of religion. I think the time of
Jesus, Mohammed, and Buddha, and the religions they
founded is over.

3. The teachings of these “Messengers of God” that
lay the foundation of the respective religions
they founded are meant to enlighten followers
on something bigger than life; the afterlife and
God, which would help people be ethical and
considerate to each other’s needs.

4. These teachings focus on abandoning the material
world rather than living in it. It seems that they think this
would make humans more ethical and considerate of
each other’s needs. Bur in fact, what has a meaningful
impact on a better life and future of humanity is
cooperation and agreement on fair use of resources and
fruits of our earth.

5. Jesus thought what was wrong with this world was
hatred and the evil spirit. He thought the way to clean
the earth of evil thoughts and deeds is self-restraint
attitudes toward money, sex, and food. He thought this
would lay the foundation of ethics, which would be
rewarding on this and the coming world.

6. He preached about staying away from the sin that
he thought would spoil the soul. His teachings and
the teachings of his disciples focused on staying
away and restricting oneself from many things
that they deemed contemptible, but in fact, has
less impact on human beings’ good psyche. More
often, religious leadership gets passive-aggressive
and tyrannical.

7. It forces devotees to focus on praise and prayer, devotion, and
blind faith. Religions teach that faith is being sure of what we hope
for and certain of what we do not see. These are against rational
thinking and science and have very little to contribute to a better
life or future. We know little about the afterlife and so, much
conviction on aspects related to it based on delusion is just a loss.
The afterlife may be the subject of spirituality science in the future
and may give us clear explanations and insights.

8. Jesus taught that his father is God, he called himself the Son
of God. He gave orders and ordered his followers to follow
them. He taught that what is not his is evil. He warned that
he would put people in hell. He got delusional and thought
that he was the messenger of God, one that has been taught
in the books of the Jews.

9. Buddha wanted to abolish the suffering that exists on
earth and similarly taught about abandoning the material
world. He taught about meditation and other practices
that would lead to liberation from the painful cycle of
rebirth. He also had some form of delusion of grandeur.

10. Similarly, Mohammed experienced
revelation, which was basically a
hallucinatory experience and so was
delusional in nature. His teachings were
focused on payer, rejecting cheating and
love of wealth.

11. Every history is the history of the human condition
and human nature. There is no Christian nature, or
Islamic nature, or Buddhist nature. There is only
human nature. There is no Christian history, or
Islamic history, or Buddhist history. There is only
human history. Who we are is how we live our lives,
not our roots, the place we were born, the
ethnicity or race we belonged to, or the religion
our parents followed.

12. Science has better answers on how people could
create a better life, a better world, and a better
future for themselves. It has answers on how they can
make their lives vibrant and live in cooperation,
harmony, and solidarity. Religion is an obstacle in
science’s way. Religions mislead their followers by
fallacies and biases happening as coincidences that
are stoned as convictions and miracles.

13. Religions may have something to teach
philanthropy, as stated in the works of mercy
on the bible and orders given to assist those
who are particularly in need on the Qoran. But
following religions would base our thoughts
and experiences on something that hasn’t been
proofed, on something that is fiction, on
something scary that Jesus, Mohammad, and
Buddha have thought that would punish
humanity if it has disobeyed, or violated the
rules they have set. It would also stand in way
of skepticism, critical thinking, and scientific
exploration.
