Fellow atheists,
I am currently working two 16 hour shifts back to back this weekend. My job has a lot of downtime so I figured, "hey, my brain is mush with nothing to do so I may as well write about something intellectually stimulating that other people may want to read,too." So, here I am and I am in need of some help.
I haven't read the Bible in who knows how long, so naturally this is going to be a step in this entire thing. I Also have not read any other readings/books of other religions. I never, and have never, claimed to know EVERYTHING about religion so maybe you all can help.
The whole topic of my writing is how religion can be compared to mental illness and the negatives of religion. While looking up some facts about mental illness (I'm a caregiver for mental patients so the materials are literally at my fingertips) I found a relation between schizophrenia and religion, ironic eh?
What I am asking of you is to voice what you feel should be included in my writing. What kind of topics should I include, what sources do you hand that I could site and utilize?
