I'm tired of being triggered by religion

Does any of you managed to forget about mainstream religion to the point of not being triggered by it in the same way you aren't noticing Zeus or Odin.
I often get triggered by religion and I feel like I had enough of it. Does "time heals" worked for some of you?

I would prefer that people appeal to reason rather than superstition in making their decisions about their lives and the lives of others, but I can't say I'm triggered by religion. Matter of fact, it might easily be argued the opposite. There is a fascination and unending interest in the subject.

Only when some moron shows up here and spewing shit about his/her invisible friend.
Otherwise, I never think about it. Too irrelevant.

What, you think your imaginary sky daddy carries any weight as an argument? Really?

OP: We kind of all are to varying degrees. To totally escape the triggers you may need to move to a deserted island.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Not in your shoes...but, I actually like the myths. I never had to deal with believing in them, ofc. I derive joy from them, not angst or misery. Maybe changing the way you think about them could help?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
