Has your interest in religion increased or decreased after leaving your religion? Why?

anglophone comments on May 1, 2021:

1. Only slightly interested in religion 2. My knowledge of religion was woeful 3. I never knew about religious traditions outside Christianity 4. I am more interested in the study of religion 5. I am keen to trounce religious nutcases with their own absurdities 6. My interest in religion has grown 7. Perhaps one hour month I am motivated by the harm done me by God Mobsters when I was a child, and I see no reason to permit today's God Mobsters to do the same to today's children.

Is there anything worse than religion's impact on humanity ever?

anglophone comments on Apr 29, 2021:

Yes, and I assert that religion is just one of a number of justifications used by megalomaniacs, psychopaths and other vile bastards to cause enormous amounts of suffering. Shinto and Buddhism scarcely figured in the mindset of the Japanese war machine during World War II; it was instead loyalty to the Chrysanthemum Throne that was used as a tool by the Japanese military to justify torture and murder.
