Is it the beliefs? The dogmatism? The epistemology? Something else?

    Usually, it’s the people.

    Either the people at the top manipulating their followers in order to secure longevity for the religion and their bank accounts, or the people at the bottom who feel the need to push their own beliefs onto others.

    We could go down the list and mention what’s “wrong” with each individual religion, such as Islam and Christianity oppressing women for centuries.

    I won’t rule out that there could be a good religion, but I haven’t really encountered one yet.

      I suspect that a culture is like a simple brainless organism. Like a worm. And it seeks to survive and grow.

      I guess that’s a kind of meme. A contagious idea. And it gets into your thinking.
