I downvoted because it’s not a particularly interesting critique of religion (contrary to, say, Eliezer’s https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/fAuWLS7RKWD2npBFR/religion-s-claim-to-be-non-disprovable which is really solid. The paragraph on free will is weak because it fails to engage with what the other side is saying (yet alone refute a steel man version)
Besides, making a big post on lesswrong about how religion is silly is just preaching to the choir—in the same way that if you really want to make a post on why AI is dangerous, don’t do it if you don’t have something new to bring to the debate.
