No Gods, No Guilt #08

Charles Dickens wrote that missionaries are nuisances that leave places worse than they found them.

Presidents and dictators abuse their power when they represent their gods. Multitudes of sects, cults, religions brainwash the young and create hateful and murderous divisions in society. Insofar as religion is anti-scientific, it tends to allow mental laziness.
