I don't approve of religion and think it should be age restricted (21), but it's part of our history and worth reading about. Know thy enemy and all that, but its also a good idea to study it to understand why we humans are so easily lulled into believing fairy tales. If your life has been negatively affected by religion like so many others, I'm sorry it makes you angry

Reply to comment by DefiantStomp in TIL that elements of the ancient Mesopotamian religion (first formed in the 6th millennium BC) may have survived until the early 20th century. The Shamsīyah, a sect of sun-worshippers, persisted in southeastern Turkey (sometimes outwardly adopting Christian customs) until the early 1900s. by RexSueciae
