Context: Last night I was shooting the breeze with my roommates when one of them brought up religion and how it was a «good thing to
grow up with religion because it gives children something to believe in», when I countered that there are many different things children can believe in
growing up without having to resort to something like religion, I basically had to sit there for 10 minutes about how atheism ruins lives because it makes everyone apathetic and
despondent.
