In every religion there is a supreme authority who must be obeyed without questioning. In christianity for example that figure is "god" (and by extension, his so called representatives here on earth), remember the story of lot? The basic requirement of christianity is to believe it first, then seek arguments to support that belief (read bias). And the moment you start believing things without question, you are leaving yourself vulnerable to being mislead.
So you think I've let go of my humanity because I believe in God?
Nope, that'd be the final step, and most people don't go so far. But I do believe you've made yourself vulnerable to being mislead, not because you believe in god, but because you are under the authority of an organized religion.
