Yeah I feel that. It's certainly not my place to dictate what other people should believe, cuz it's not like any of us definitively know how the universe works. Religion just brings me anguish personally. I've seen other people benefit from it, though in my experience it's typically been people who modify their religious practices to fit their own needs, rather than those who blindly stick to dogma/ use the religion to oppress people. Basically, I view it as a tool for people to contextualize their experiences. Which can and continues to be misued by those in power. But on an individual/small community level I can understand why some people benefit from practicing their religion.
