The problem with religion

I understand the concept of faith and the concept of God. That is fine by me and faith is as important as love or fear.

But you cannot tell me to read books written by men who think they had visions from God. The biggest analogy is modern day cult leaders.

Most of the holy books have different interpretations which change with time. Why so? Are the books too complex or are they changing interpretations as the world evolves? The answer is latter.

that's why religion requires its followers to hold faith over evidence and logic

@EuphoricTurtle agreed.

A population with critical thinking never works in a society where the people who hold the power wanted to keep the status quo
