But I also think it can be healthy if done in a positive way. Believing in a higher power makes some people happier healthier people. Same with religion, some aspects of organized religion are really great and some are really terrible. Some organizations are overall really good and some are overall really harmful.
I don't believe in god. I don't know of any religious organization I'd be willing to be a member of. But I don't care what other people believe or join.
What do you mean you don't care , anyway ? That you wouldn't try to outlaw religion or that you are actually nonplussed by the fact that so many people believe false things about the world and get their moralities from ancient death cults ?
Strictly speaking, both are immoral positions to hold, IMO, but one more defensible than the other. If I had the power I would destroy most of organized religion and not think twice about it, starting with the Catholic Church with its crimes against humanity(can't describe them otherwise).
