When we abandon Religion we will be better for it

The world will be a much better place when people learn to start questioning what they're told. When people start to demand data and evidence. Religion is by its very nature anti-fact. You are encouraged not to question things. You're shamed and treated as someone with a weak faith if you don't just assume the religion you were brought up in is true. You're supposed to "have faith." I always hear "hurr muh absence of evidence=/=evidence of absence!", which pretty much means "I have no evidence to support my claims, therefore it's okay assume they're correct!". It's an incredibly stupid way to think about things. I can claim god is an invisible pink unicorn on Mars, and by this logic we can assume I'm correct because it's not like you can conclusively prove me wrong. So yes, the world will be a much better place if people abandon religion not because they're forced to, but because they know better than to believe this bullshit in the first place. When we can all think critically, we will all benefit. Call me a fedora-tipping Leddit edgy insert-buzzword-here all you like, I'm right and deep down you know it.
