That's because of the opportunistic religious people: as long as there are people making money on religion, the religion will exist because they'll do whatever they can to deceive people in order to buy their shit or just give them money

That's why I always say "Get rid of money, build your society like Star Trek TNG and you won't have religion anymore, and also you won't have astrology, homeopathy, chiropractic, acupuncture, alchemy."

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
