Was brainwashed into Mormonism from birth. having church forced on me always felt wrong, but didn't understand why, until adulthood. After further investigation of many of the various religious faiths ( including Christianity) I started to piece it all together. Conclusion: all religious faiths are garbage....christianity is basically a shit stew of stolen ingredients from everyone else....i would consider myself atheist with a bit of pagan thrown in there...... and then I started to realize why churches are allowed to make as much tax free money as they damn well please ..because it keeps people separated into groups and categories ,fighting each other over silly ass shit. keeps the masses dumbed-down and distracted, so we can continue to be wage/ debt slaves and keep this fake Matrix system going... it gets people to continue to join the military and keep the war business running strong, fighting enemies you know nothing about. Simply because your government is telling you to and their government is telling them the same thing . You don't even know these people, why would you go kill them? they're just regular Working Class People trying to live a quality life ,in spite of government tyrany. I have no loyalty to Flags, Borders or corrupt leaders, only loyalty to my fellow working class human beings worldwide.......

I was a Christian fundamentalist in the military "gonna save my country for God." I now know there is no God and wonder what the hell I thought what I was doing. How did I not realize that my god was so weak an pathetic that he needed people to do his dirty work killing each other because he was too incompetent to do it his self. Whats worse It took me years to grow up and realize that there was no god. I am ashamed and it pushes me to be vocal today. So I am active on line and have a YouTube channel to hopefully make amends with myself and help others.

Yup. Bummer...

Upon exiting evangelical Christianity, I did my own review of other religions and concluded, as you did, that they all suffer from the same fatal flaws -- most fundamentally, the failed epistemology of religious faith. I cannot afford belief to the unsubstantiated anymore. So religion is not an option for me. And now that I'm acclimated to irreligion, I not only don't miss it, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Well said, as a fellow ex-mo it has always been a source of ironic amusement to me that the LDS are probably responsible for creating more atheist than any other "Christian church".
Thinking your way out of Mormonism teaches a way of thinking that when applied to religion generally, shows them all up for the "shit stew" (love that expression) you describe.

Key on to what the world is. The churches and their minions control billions of dollars and as you said opiate (turn a noun to a verb) the masses for other groups to take advantage.
