let's be honest if the argument about anything is religious the person don't have enough brain to debate anything
I tend to agree, but as I've gotten older I've got a bit less strict with thinking all religious people are idiots.
But I'm still pretty fervently of the mind that dogmatic monotheism is honestly one of the — if not the — worst thing that happened to humanity.

Similar mindset for me. You can have your religion, I don't care.
But like masturbation, keep it private or with specific loved ones, keep it out of politics, or any public sector, and DEFINITELY keep it away from kids since they can't consent.
And hooboy do they love shrieking about consent
Until it's time to teach their 4 year old that thinking is for pussies praise Jesus
Quoth George Carlin... Commandment #11:
Thou shalt keep thy religion to thyself.
The silliest thing is that even YHWH was once but one of the Israelites' many gods. He just slowly ate away at their pantheon until there was nothing left but anger and jealousy.
As I've gotten older I've done the opposite! If they think there are any gods at all, then they make important decisions without evidence. That always spills over into more physical concerns, like climate change.
