"When one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion." - Robert Pirsig

I wish there were some kind of way to spread more awareness that religion is often just another form of psychological abuse.

Everything else is a lie. You must believe what we believe. If you do then we will accept you and you'll be eternally rewarded for your conformity to our way of life and morals. If you don't then you'll be punished forever after you die.

yep... it definitely is brainwashing kids into being like a victim of Stockholm syndrome. We're not ALL held physically by religious doctrines (though some really are) but we are all potential victims of the mental effects (fear, shame, guilt, etc.) that many religions try to instill upon us and remain loyal to the teachings.... or ELSE!
