Yes. I could add that sex is seen as something dirty and vile, that sex ed isn't taught in religious circles, leading in horrible teenage pregnancy statistics and abortion for those girls isn't an option. I could also mention mutilation of the genitalia of both genders to make sure that sex isn't pleasurable.
The fear of eternal torture isn't the whole story, thinking that someone is watching you constantly and judging your every move can cause severe anxiety and mental disorders.
My 'favorite' harm though is the inabilty to question. You're supposed to believe without a doubt and if you dare to ask "Why?" you'll be seen as insolent and evil.
That's my two cents.

Sex is not a taboo in Christianity until it's taken out side marriage. You need to read the Songs of Solomon, Christians see sex as pleasurable and why not it is a gift from God.

Circumcised men transfer less disease than uncircumcised men, this is a health issue. Christian women are not circumcised, I do not know why you would believe they are, unless you're uninformed.

Fear of eternal punishment is not an issue with Christians, it's not a part of our future, again I do not know why you can't understand this, the fear of eternal punishment belongs to those who are not saved.

Again you're wrong, Christians question all the time it's the way we're able to find truth, I personally have questioned God directly on issues, I ask for a reason to the truth.
Seems that two cents you threw in is not worth, well noth'in.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
