Does religious brainwashing do more harm or good to the world?

Brain washing is bad because then they send them to "obey god by killing deniers" of whatever. But if people would think for themselves they could find the good religion... for example every relugion has books sending their readers to jesus... even budha said 500 years! So if obey budha must stol budhism... and just in time for jesus! Also books: Isaiah, Mahabharta, and Quran and talmud all send their readers to jesus.

Stol=stop* budhism after 500 years.

Harm, without a doubt. According to the word of “god”, if someone didn’t know that god existed and was never introduced to that religion, that person would automatically be granted access to “heaven” when they die. So it is actually more harmful to spread the word of god than it is to keep quiet.


Religion is responsible for war and it is an excuse for hate crimes and assaults. I cannot think of a single good thing that religion has done for society.
