I don't know which category to put myself in.
I am both anti-theist and anti-religion but I am not against deism and the other forms of belief in a god. IIRC theism usually includes creationism and I'd say it in the majority of cases discourages logical, rational, critical and analytical thinking. It has no evidence, why should missinformation that contradicts information based on facts and evidence be spread? When I was younger and still curious and asked my brother <why does x=x?> he'd respond "because it's god's will". Fuck that. Seriously fuck that. If I was a bit less curious I'd be satisifed and wouldn't have searched for the answer myself i.e I wouldn't be stimulating my mind. And encouraging, especially a child to think logically and critically for themselves is a good thing.
And don't fucking say it's not the religions fault and it's the parents. It might not be DIRECTLY religions fault but it is religions fault indirectly. And when I say that it's because, yes my brother could answer scientifically if he knew, he could've told me to look for the answer but he didn't, it was his choice but it was still that fuckfest of a religion that influenced him, was indoctrinated into his brain and missinformation was spread to him because of that religion.
