Now you're probably opening this thinking "oh great another rant on religion", well you're right. But please keep reading on because what I have to say is important and applies to all beliefs, even if you don't have one.
Many religions now believe the world is going to end, soon. Basically they believe this because of "signs" and their precious magic books. Well the scary thing is the world could end soon, and religion could actually be its cause. The fact is, for the world to live on religion must die. Faith is nothing to brag about it, and people who accept faith, or preach it are just intellectual slaveholders. Religion has caused so much craziness and destruction and I think 9/11 is a great example, however I won't get into it much because of everything else I have to say.
Now, why is religion so powerful? Because it allows people who DON'T have the answer to what happens when we die to think they do. If you're a christian or any other religion you may think it's great to say "PLEASE GOD I'M WILLING! I'LL DO ANYTHING YOU ASK OF ME!" Well guess what, there are no gods talking to us so that void is filled in by corrupt and often hostile people.
This is why anti-religious rationalists must come out of the freakin closet and let themselves be heard. And for those of you who only consider yourselves "a little religious", is the safe feeling of believing in a religion worth the pain and destruction it causes? If you belonged to a social group that wasn't a religion that involved so much bigotry, homophobia, violence, and ignorance as religions you would quit the club and protest against it. And if the end of the world comes because of nuclear arms led by religious nut jobs... just remember what the true problem was. We found a way to end lives on a mass scale before we stopped wishing for it.
So your saying that something that teaches people to live a good life and do good helpful things is evil? Its just sad that you think your sooo smart when you dont know much at all.
actually you sort of just proved my point. thanks! You said idk much at all... why? because I dont believe the same thing as you, which in your religion labels me as someone who is ignorant and going to hell
So your saying being kind to others and helping people and donating your time to help people and a lot more is evil!?!? I say you dont know much because your say all religions are evil just because one does bad thing, when all of the religions are extremely different. Also your saying that the majority of the world is pure evil, and only Atheists are "good". I think that most of the worst crimes in America, and probably most crimes in general are done by Atheists.

Ok then, First of all the title. It says that all religion is evil, yet alot of religions stand for helping people and living a good, pure life.

That clearly shows that you think being nice a helping people is evil.
There are several more, but just that proves what I am saying.
Graham, you didnt even copy my whole post, you just copied apart of it that makes me look bad because you didnt post the part saying that that isnt what i think, its what he thinks. this is what I posted.
So your saying that something that teaches people to live a good life and do good helpful things is evil?
Then he said that that is exactly what he thought. Therefore he is saying that he thinks doing nice and helpful things are evil
the only way religion is evil is how 2 religions don't agree and they go against their 'eace' to prove their religion is right which leads to war and violence
