Belief in god is immensely immoral. The religious are lying thru their teeth when they claim god exists, when all the known facts and evidence indicate the opposite. They’re lying even worse when they claim this fictional god-fellow is all-knowing and all-powerful, also lacking any facts or evidence to back their assertions. And they’re lying still worse when they say he intervenes in human life; and men should slavishly serve him; and he will judge, reward, and punish people upon their death.
This is all made-up nonsense and without a scintilla of reason or proof to support it. Belief in the massively important idea and potential entity of "god" necessarily involves the rejection of reality, truth, reason, life, happiness, and hope. And you can’t get more evil than that! Humans desperately need all six of these ideals and values.
Religious belief also invites and motivates people to do as many wicked things as they wish and to be as wicked as they care to be. None of their horrors matter since the god-believer can escape all proper punishment merely by 1) "believing" in god, and 2) confessing his sins, and 3) offering an apology. Then god cancels out all his depravity and the evil-doer gets to live in Paradise forever. This contrasts vividly with a man who is a thousand times better, but who neglects the three acts above, and thus gets to burn in Hell forever. What injustice and stupendous evil!
Religiosos are such demons. Meanwhile, people who believe in reason tend to behave, and are almost always decent and good. They’re often heroic and noble. Rational folk generally make something of themselves and their lives. Reasonists simply don’t trash themselves and their fellow man as the religious usually do. But the god-believers are almost invariably lying scum and destructive monsters.
