In those instances where religion has a negative effect (persecution/fixated on sin) more mental disorders are identified.

Makes perfect sense. The only logical conclusion to draw is, why take the risk when the rule book reads like a fucking room in an asylum where the walls are smeared with the feces of its schizophrenic occupant trying to communicate?
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
