My honest review of Christianity

[Whateverist]

Yes you are correct, however religion is capable of brainwashing sane adults too unless they are already questioning it. For example many religious organizations will offer food and shelter to the poor and homeless while slowly indoctrinating them to the respective faith system.

Brainwashed? Sure, there are cults and other groups (religious and otherwise) that take some pretty extreme approaches with their members, but I don't think that's the general experience of people growing up in a free, but religious society. Instead, it's just that most religions tell a pretty good story. Most are pretty good story tellers too. As a whole it has a lot of experience answering questions too. People sharing those religions are doing so because they believe in it, they enjoy the religion, and they want to share that enjoyment. They aren't evil monster's that need to be stopped. :-)

I mostly agree but don't forget most religious people aren't convinced of their faith as adults. No, they are brought up to believe incredible things by their parents and community from whom they learn almost every ordinary thing they believe. Kids are sponges that sop up what is around them. No brain washing is required. Sadly they are imprinted with absurd beliefs at a time when their brains are largely blank and receptive to begin with.
