Agree and as someone who's on the outside of all religious beliefs. I think all religions are more or less the same.
- There's a God or leader who you obey to.
- There's a community, a church or tent or hall where you praise your leader together with others.
- There's rules to follow, written from a book. How to dress, how to act, what to do and not do, what to think and not think, who to approve in your life and not.
- Women are oppressed, treated like men's possessions. Sex is sacred and the woman body is sacred.
- You are against other religious people and will not let your children marry someone of a different religion
- You are manipulated to join said religion because your family and or living area, force you to. This includes bringing gifts / donating money to your church/ synagoga.
- To decline said religion is shameful and in many areas even dangerous. You get exiled from your community, from your family and in some cases, killed.
It's like joining a criminal gang, except it's socially accepted discrimination and violence that no one is responsible for because "God / Allah / my almighty leader wanted me to do this"
And before someone goes "Not my religion" just because your religion haven't hurt you it doesn't mean it's not hurting millions of people in other places or even hurting someone in your family. Many suffer in secret because it's not allowed to be ungrateful towards your religion.
