Say for instance they advertise having truth but do not give truth they could get sued for that. But can they be sued over false claims that require faith and belief. because if that could happen i would be amazed. Think of a random person who said religion made my life worse and lists of why and how it did because there is some use of threats and that being said the threat is hell and well that is a form of abuse.
Religions don't ruin your life, the people in them do. And yes, you can sue religious people.

If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
