Opinion: Religion Lowers Individual Morality

2 points by ReligionKills ↗ HN
The religious can commit crimes nobody else can.

God is greater than reality, greater than your inhibitions.

Religious people often brag that religion is the source of morality.

But actually, it grants them permission to sin.

Everything from asking for forgiveness to collecting donations to killing in the name of god fall under the guise of false benevolence that results in empowering the selfish and victimizing the helpless.

Religion is the most evil force on earth - the great cause of all war and famine.

Famine is often a tactic in war, and war is often for economic purposes.

Marxists - who worship their gods Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao - often instigate war.
