Religious belief is toxic

Rather than a way to contentment, spiritual health and salvation, Christianity actually militates against human development in such vital areas as self-esteem, sexuality and social interactions.

The tragic end result of Christian conditioning is too often antisocial behavior, sexual dysfunction, poor psychological development, anxiety and even major psychiatric illness.

Christianity's aggressive prontalist policies have encouraged large families despite parents ability to cope either emotionally or financially. The Christian church has formulated rigid sexual roles, forbidding all practices not leading directly to procreation. By actually promoting sexual ignorance and irresponsibility, Christianity has encouraged the proliferation of such social ills as rape, child molestation and pornography.

Statistics show that people with rigid belief systems manifest greater racism and less openmindedness than those with a more questioning scientific attitude towards life.
