I was indoctrinated into the non denomination christian religion aka cult as a kid. I grew up being taught right wing values and that Christianity was real. However when i became a teen i found out I was pansexual and learned about evolution. I started losing my faith from there. I eventually became an atheist and rejected those ideas.Then I found out I was trans nonbinary. Some people also helped deprogram me as well. When I became an adult i got into politics and over the years I gravitated more and more left. I want to say a year or two ago I became a communist. I think capitalism is a predatory system that should be destroyed. I also think religion and spirituality is predatory as well. Because of my history with religion I vowed to myself to be a person of science and to fight religion. I feel that religion, capitalism, and bigotry are interlinked. I was taught about intersectionality and i believe that intersectionality is important. I am reminded that racism was fueled by the desire for financial gain during the slave trade. Europe's Religious Imperialistic desires were fueled by the desire for control and financial gain. I see these forces today. Because of this i believe in order for society to progress religion/spirituality, capitalism, and bigotry must be stopped.

I'm not even saying you have to agree. This is MY OPINION PIECE based on things I've learned, observed, and experience. But I'm entitled to my opinion/feelings and I won't apologize for that.

Racism was alive and well in ancient times too, do you think the Egyptians enslaved themselves, or the other peoples around them? Same for the romans, persians, and chinese. If you think removing religion from the world will make it a place free from all bad things, perhaps ask yourself why our species invented organized religion in the first place, way back in the day of king Tut type god-kings.
