(FWIW: No member of any religion can accept that the behavior generated by their religion is harmful, when the promise of the religion is the opposite.

Religions function because of the high investment (sunk) cost, and high neurological adaptation to the premises stated, and the metaphysics implied. So they are extremely difficult to ‘cure’.

We can however, as observers explain the deleterious effects of every single religion in painful detail. The only not-bad religions are natural religion (ancestor worship as in Japan) and stoicism (which is just cognitive behavioral therapy).

Christianity and Buddhism are the least bad of the rest, but both, independent of aristocracy, are forms of escaping responsibility and we’ve seen the result. Hinduism is the odd man out. But Islam is the destroyer of civilizations.

We’ve lost the arts, letters, ideas, aristocracies, culture, wisdom knowledge and evolutionary potential of seven civilizations of the ancient world to Islam.

While egypt was a horrific loss, unfortunately Persia was the most tragic loss, and they almost recovered twice, but they may never recover now -a nd we may have lost them forever.)
