Religion as a Disease Religion is a transmissible mental illness of an unusual nature - one transmitted by memes. In this way, it is a mental virus. Signs and Symptoms Religion comes in many strains, but all are characterized by a crippling suppression of critical thinking skills. In most people, religion is not severe, and only suppresses critical thinking abilities in a way that protects the "memetic lesion" (usually located in the right parietal lobe). However, more virulent strains exist that cause the sufferer to lose all signs of rational thought, or even become violent and murderous. This is evolutionarily advantageous to the belief because it allows the virus to spread by eliminating competing variants through destroying or converting their hosts. Transmission Religion evolved with many different transmission methods. Most chronic carriers transmit it passively to their children. However, in a certain percentage of carriers (the chance is influenced by which strain you are infected with) the disease affects their behavior in a manner that increases the efficiency of transmission. This is similar to such diseases as toxoplasmosis (caused by Toxoplasma gondii), which changes the behavior of rats in order to continue the parasite's life cycle in cat's intestines, and certain fungal infections of ants. Additionally, in a unique adaptation, it can actually induce some hosts to create complicated fomites in the form of religious texts that can implant the meme in anyone who reads it. These can last for a few days, such as simple pamphlets, to thousands of years, such as in the case of stone carvings. Disturbingly, these fomites can serve as templates to create new, nearly identical fomites. Epidemiology Certain strains of religion are common in certain areas, while almost nonexistent in others. As such, we will consider each major subgroup separately. Judasim Judaism is endemic to the Middle East. Its belief system is rather similar to its main descendant, Christianity (see below) in its stance on women, LGBT people, and doctrine, as well as most virulence traits (see below). Its main influence has been the creation of two descendants - Christianity and Islam. Christianity Christianity is an extremely common form of religion. Most holders in certain areas tend to show localized thought lesions, and many die without experiencing many ill effects. However, the American South, parts of Africa, and most infamously in a part of Rome (where a dangerous strain known as Catholicism, which seems to be correlated with increased rates of child molestation in its hosts) virulent forms of the disease cause massive damage and irrational behavior in the hosts in almost all activities and thoughts. Islam Islam is an epidemic in the Middle East and parts of India. Islam currently mimics a state Christianity went through in its evolution, where it was more virulent and dangerous to its host - a risky strategy for any disease which requires its host to survive, and although fomite production by the infected is a nontrivial factor in allowing the disease to survive without a human host, populations that survive an infection as deadly as that tend to build up resistance. Violence towards LGBT people, women, and those infected by other strains/the noninfected is grossly exaggerated in those infected by this strain. Patient zero was most likely a man called Mohammed, who most likely suffered temporal lobe seizures as evidenced by his "visions" and perceived conversations with a figment of his imagination. I will write more, including virulence factors, prevention and treatment if this gets support.
Sadly it's not about having answers. We have answers for so many things we couldn't have dreamed of knowing in the past. The age of the earth, the scale of our universe, what causes the tides, the structure of our planet, the chemical make up of our sun. We now understand weather isn't prepetrated by the whims of an angry god nor are eclipses omens of our future. And yet with all this knowledge many choose to ignore, they recant all we have learned in favour of stories that were simply made up to bring us ease and peace of mind. They do not care about truth of reality, and sadly they no longer care about peace of mind either. They whole heartily rejected the very world before their eyes for one far more grotesque and cruel. The reason they accept this fantasy is simple. Religion has been carefully crafted and selected for over generations to be an optimal meme. It surplants curiosity and instills fear. Religion is a parasite of the mind that latchs on to our young and refuses to let other ideas coexist or propagate. They have not choosen religion for truth, and sadly have not done so for peace of mind either. They have choosen it entirely because of fear.
"Violent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism and tribalism
and bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry,
contemptuous of women and coercive toward children: organized religion
ought to have a great deal on its conscience."
