You covered it. There's really not much empirical basis for refuting the point, so I think that's covered.
But we can certainly go on a related tangent about how bullshit "religiosity" has fucked up our culture and our politics.
1) If you rely on a system of faith/magical belief, and fear of divine repercussions, in order to behave decently and ethically, you are a fucking sociopath. The concepts and broad benefits of behaving decently and ethically exist, robustly, outside of any religious framework as well.
2) When you can't even TRY TO FOLLOW the core elements of that faith/magical belief (be decent to your fellow man, don't be a dick), and in fact do the opposite, ALL THE WHILE claiming that the very faith/magical belief you claim "membership" in shields your actions from all criticism or consequence because that's your "religious freedom," you are a sociopathic dick.
If our religion, culture, and politics, were run based on the moral and ethical foundations that define and run through both religious AND secular systems (be decent to your fellow man, don't be a dick), we'd be in astounding shape. Yet we have a society lurching at breakneck speed toward theocracy (running on "religiosity" to the exclusion and in opposition to any "secular" values) that is violently opposed to 1) the very value system that faith is supposedly built on and 2) that same value system that lives outside of religion.
So, yeah, Hookah, I'll say the conclusion -- in America, 2023, religion is poison.
