My new favorite show is "Adam ruins everything". If you don't know who this is check it out

Short story is that he cracks long held myths and beliefs for the average American.
The last episode was about sex (our favorite subject right.) Everything from circumcision, to herpese, to the hymen.
Many of the myths he hold are harmful to a good healthy guilt free sex life. The main culprit of course is puritanical evangelical ideology. The other usual culprit in most of these shows is corprate greed but that is for another time.
I learned a man named Kellogg was a fanatical Christian that decided to enforce his ideas of puritanical life on every one else by claiming that circumcision could stop boys from masterbating by making the penis less sensitive. For women he wanted to use acid on their clitoris.
I learned that the hymen is NOT a reliable source of info on virginity but due to the current religions of some of the world it is used as a purity test by government officials. Can you say "sexual assault"?
Here in America slut shaming is in full swing due to (wait for it)..... puritanical evangelical ideology.
I see all of this as disgusting and a very good reason to oppose organized religion.
The question that poses in my mind is why do they (the religious) consistently force others to adopt or at least adhere to their ideas on anything but especialy sex? The claims about circumcision, herpes, and the hymen can and have all been tested and mostly disproved.
My answer is that it is all about control of others because man as always desired power and insecurity because it is is much easier to claim "rightousness" when you are part of the majority
Which leads me to the next logical question.
If Jehova is real then what need does the Christian have with power over others.
Why should there be such insecurity if yaweh is real?
I know from being on this forum the Christian will argue either that there is no proof that "religion" does that or that God is not the one doing it.
To the former one need only look at history and the acts of people like Kellogg. To the latter I agree since i see no evidence of a god involved with any of it. Instead the idea of god is used as a tool (weapon) to Justify, coerce, or force any and all acts that will promote the virus of Christianity.
give me your thoughts on the subject
