I was wondering, since religions are fundamentally social structures built to set hierarchies and justify inequality, and all religious dogma and theology has failed to disprove the null hypothesis of atheism, does it hamper a comrade's integrity if she is conflicted in shedding off her circumstantial religion?
What do you guys think?
I wouldn't put it as a blanket statement because I admittedly do not know how a lot of modern organized religion does it (organized of course being key), but organized religion does often involve a clerical class that stands aside from and often above the average person. You've got the three Abrahamics of course, but also (weird reach but thinking off the top of the head) things like paganism in the ancient world: Egypt, Greece, Rome, etc
