I know I am putting a lot of focus on christian religion and I will get to the others later on but lets explore some of the batshit crrazy things that Christianity tries to sell to us.

God created everything the stars, planets, the light and the darkness, evil and good, the devil and man.

He then sends out the snake to trick 2 humans in a garden. Essentially he tricks his own creation with another creation of his. It works so he is now pissed forever with damnation and ever lasting fires of hell unless they pray for him and give money, and he also loves you. Good one.

What about the hundreds of thousands of different cultures scattered around the earth who never heard about this Abrahamaic god? Apparently everyone else didn't get the memo, only a few people were entitled to get an instruction manual. Weird ha but there are other gods and all of a sudden it becomes a confrontation. If you say yours is the one and true god what about the thousands of others who say the same thing, who is right and who is tripping balls? It very quickly becomes a battle of religions.

How about this - Its all made up as a coping mechanism to all the primitive people who had no explanation or understanding of science or spiritual so they put everything inexplicable into this magic category. Volcano erupts, where we go when we die? Why does a zebra have stripes Must be the gods. To this day we have simps consuming it without examination or any kind of scepticism. They slurp it up and call it faith when in truth they too lazy to admit that they fallen into a cult of low resolution thinking.

Society needs a healthy fear of god, otherwise it becomes immoral.

This is part of why we see the normalization of deviance now a days.

That's debatable. Fear based societies only work as a benevolent dictatorship but unfortunately this is an outdated model. I get that religion was a useful tool to herd unruly nomadic tirbals at one point but for today its almost an obsolete concept.
There is overt deviance but that is partially because of suppression by the church and religion. Personally idc what others stick in their orifices as long as they keep it to themselves and don't mandate society to cater to their particular fetishes.

Leftoids and radicals operate an eye for an eye methodology. They just preach different versions of what they believe is right. Either one is perverted to me. I live with simple common sense principles like, "don't be a dick, have fun, earn your keep" etc. Don't need fear of god to tell me how to live.

Enjoy the continued indoctrination of poor moral values in children then.

he allows the snake. they had the same choice you have. say no to the snake and come back to God.

it is. it is a war. its not as mysterious as your trying to make it.

and that wouldnt be a coping mechanism? kidding yourself what you do doesnt matter? so you give your self a pass to do what ever you want. little wonder why atheist chitholes are such chit holes to live in. what do you thing a deep blue chit hole city is with BLM/antifa running around like animals setting everything on fire?

"They slurp it up and call it faith when in truth they too lazy to admit that they fallen into a cult of low resolution thinking."
(i put it on the line all the time. i challenge you to show me any science that troubles scripture)
(i used to say "show me any scripture that disproves scripture" but i got bolder and changed "disproves" to "troubles". my point is if scripture is false it should be easy, shouldnt it?)

consider..........if no God then no justice, ever.

I don't equate moral values (or lack there of) which are perpetrated onto children by political hacks/useful idiots as a lack of religion. Religion and morality are not mutually exclusive, one can exist without the other. Elders, parents and education system is entrusted to pass on values and guiding principles onto the kids. This woke experiment will take a generation to play out eventually the morals will become self evident and society will correct itself.
For example genders in sports turned out to be a big disaster. People can see the hypocrisy right away. But this is more political issue rather then religious one. Trying to bring society to some kind of moral standard through religion is a step backwards.

I consider consequence. That's not same as justice. If do something the result is instantaneous and consistent. Because consequence follows the laws of the life. Which are observable and measurable.
My actions are not judged by some magical being in the sky after i go to some other made up place. Put your hand in a beehive get stung that's not karma its not the gods are angry its my failure to understand how nature works.

If the snake had free choice then why did it deceive adam and eve? Why was it purposefully trying to thwart gods will didn't god give instructions not to eat it? I tell you why because it was made by god to do that. God designed it to be deceitful there is no other way.
When you make something and it doesn't do as its supposed to do you don't get mad you simple fix it. Early primitive thinkers who written a compilation of scripts which we call the bible now tried to poorly explain what causality is.

The idea of causality was a hard concept for illiterate peasants to grasp so they gave them a parent analogy to slurp up. If you do something against your father you are in trouble so be good boy. Sound about right?

exactly what religion has done for thousands of years. You seem to think its some kind of medicine. Yet its equivalent to treating mental health issues with shock therapy or lobotomy.

Its a non solution

Just because you don't believe doesn't mean those in power don't believe.
