Fellow Atheists, Do you think that other religions like Hinduism and Buddhism are harmful to the human mind even though they haven't killed ?

As much as other cult groups that preceded Christianity and Islam. Christians have killed themselves like street dogs because they couldn't agree about doctrines in the gospels like the Eucharist wafer between Catholics and Protestants and protestants have caused violence for their dislike of Catholics idol ship of saint figures. Islam... Well you already now. But Hinduism and Buddhism are harmful because they coerce human beings into being good because of Karma bullsh!t and the dangers of reincarnating into something you don't want.

    Anything that propagates superstition has the potential to cause harm.

    Even though I'm an atheist I still believe religion is as good thing (as long as they aren't worshipping a devil or evil god) because it can bring people closer together.

    Buddhism is pretty much atheistic already and no Hindus have been forcing their religion into civil laws here...

    I understand spiritual values to be: unconditional love, joy, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, self-control, humility, courtesy, justice, truth, nobility, honesty, empathy, wisdom, ...

    Do you deny their existence? 

    Even though these values are unquantifiable by science?

    We are not born good. We are born little hedonists, whining for a nipple, whining when we're tired, whining for attention, whining when we don't get our baba, whining when we don't get our own way.

    If we're not careful, and brought up right, we become whiny losers with an overblown sense of entitlement, and always moaning about what victims we are, with no cultivation of spiritual values. 

    They are taught, and, we hope, learned. 

    But too many of us are impressed with ourselves and how "intellectually and morally superior" we are to everybody else.

    Sheesh.

    Atheists think everything is harmful, 

    and in a way it is. Demonic-Forces

    have infiltrated everything on Earth, 

    even peaceful ones like Christianity 

    and Buddhism. 

    Most people really aren't aware of 

    the REALLY EVIL SATANIC LORDS

    who control everyone through sex, 

    fear, war, drug-abuse, money and 

    competition. 

    I first became aware of them back 

    in 2007, when a grey-like shade

    with red-eyes and mechanical 

    implants attacked me. The room 

    shook as if by earthquake. It 

    snarled, dragged me off my bed 

    and across the floor. I called on 

    St. Michael, the blue archangel 

    to ward it off and he did.
