    Religion indoctrinates you into replacing reason with faith in your earliest formative years,

    Capitalism indoctrinates you into replacing reason with consumerism, individualism and classism - and let’s not forget capitalism’s alter ego, fascism… which adds the white supremacism, militarism, nationalism and misogyny. And it does this long before you hit puberty.

    Religion, on the other hand, is a mixed bag - it can be used to to support the above, or it can be used to teach that capitalists should be chased out with a whip woven out of horsehair (or something).

    So no… I’ll take religion and I won’t look back.
