I didn’t downvote (nor upvote) the first time I saw it. I have downvoted now.
Not because I disagree, but because the thesis isn’t clear enough to know whether I disagree. It may be obvious—most of the simplistic formulations of most religions are pretty hard to take seriously. It is missing any deeper exploration of why religious cultures seem to be more cohesive and happy, or any value in mystery or embracing contradictions in models of an unknowable (or at least not-fully-knowable) universe.
Most religions are wrong. That doesn’t make them futile.
