A single believer has a belief.
Multiple believers with the same belief is a cult.
Add a book of instructions & mythology to make a cult a religion.

The bible itself is the best evidence against the truth of the bible & the existence of God. 🤔

Well said. I'm from '64 so a very young boomer but strangely my younger brother is Gen X ???
Say what you want about boomers but they were the first en masse to:
- Reject mainstream religion.
- Stand up for the environment.
- Address animal suffering.
- Stop using violence to discipline children.
- Take steps against racism.
- Establish women's rights.
- Recognise alternative sexualities.
- Improve the workplace.
- Resist unjust war.

There seems to be a trend of generating hate & prejudice between generations recently. Just blame all the ills of the world on previous or subsequent generations.
Imagine the outrage if comments made about generations were made about races or LGBT people.
If you were born into the life of the target of your hate, would you be so different?
We need more empathy & reasoned dialog in the world, not mindless division.

Religion is not really a problem outside USA.
'Not saying all Americans are religious, but the majority of Americans are and they are the reason western religion is still afloat.'
When Americans all die out then religion will fade away too.
Is there a word for negatively judging all members of a demographic according to a stereotype of that demographic?

Prayer is for when you think God's plan isn't good enough & you want him to change it to your plan.

Turns out he was lying anyway & the 'deceptive' serpent was telling the truth.

I have a desire not to be tortured for eternity in a hell created by the being who is demanding I love it unconditionally, without credible evidence of it's existence. All because this being loves me & wants to forgive me for the sin of being descended from a woman who used the free will she didn't have to not be tricked by this beings lie into not eating a magic apple.
Fortunately, this is over ruled by my desire to live my life without being sucked into believing illogical bullshit.
