It’s weirder then that: The reason is: “It’s god’s plan that you became pregnant, and if you do not survive, that’s god’s plan too. We just need to trust the plan”.
It’s one of the reasons why I strongly believe religion is the source of all things evil.
And nothing heinous has ever been done without religion?
The faithful give over three times as much in charitable donations as the secular, and volunteer three to four times as often.
Plus, the religious have been persecuted for their beliefs as long as there had been human history, which is what you are proposing by suggesting that religion should be eliminated.

I don’t know how this never occurred to me but yes, this sounds right. Fuck this is terrifying.
This is why so many “founding fathers” around the world, including the US, did not want religion to play ANY part in politics.

Christianity had been used through the ages to commit the most heinous crimes against humanity. They still do.
We should try a world without religion.
