The Religious Void

[Angrboda]

That's a big if.  It can be easy to see that (and specifically how) some forms of religion are, have been, or would inevitably be harmful.  Less so to insist that harm is a rule of religiousity.

Not that asserting that as a rule would settle any debates, ofc - we'd still have acceptable harm to contend with.

Which, even if I were to accept it, is a sword that cuts both ways.
