It’s a pretty common take that lack of religions causes whatever problems you want to point to. It’s funny hearing it from the brain genius himself like it’s some revolutionary take that nobody else has thought of.
Not just lack of religion. Anything but the mainstream also gets pointed to. If you're from one or more "pagan" religions (e.g., luciferianism, satanism, hermeticism, wicca, göetia, neo-hellenism, gnosticism, umbanda/kimbanda/candomblé, new age, or simply a free non-conformist esoteric/occult person as I am as a worshipper of the Dark Mother Goddess), most people tend (not everyone, so it's not a generalized rule) to have a suspicious look at ya, even atheists (again, no intention of generalize here). I'm saying that because I was once an atheist, I was once christian and now I'm a "pagan" person, and I've been noticing the religious biases of the society against esoteric beliefs.
For example, in my country, a syncretic Kimbanda temple tried to raise a statue for Lucifer, the light-bringer (Lux ferre), and the city hall stopped the temple of rising the statue, because people saw it as something "diabolical".

I think you misread Frogman's post. "It’s a pretty common take that lack of religions causes..."
