Why It’s An Inherent Duty to CHALLENGE Religion | Humanity Comes First…

People forget we’ve actually lived an era when religion stood unchallenged; when it was the divine answer to everything.

Those days brought the inquisition, the crusade and children were killed for being witches.

Heresy was a treasonable offence, with many having been killed for this.

If humanity continued in that direction, we would have become the dinosaurs of the history book we wouldn’t have been here to write.

Religion on its own would not have progressed; we forced it, we punched it and we challenged its antics—why kill a man for not believing that the sun actually revolve around the earth?

Religion was down wrong on almost all the questions; it taught that diseases were caused by gods and the earth was flat, only about 6000 years old when it is over 13 billion years old.

Our civilization has progressed because we were challenged; black people have rights today because we challenged slavery.

And remember, the bible was the tool used to enslave; it actually endorsed slavery and even today, it permits it.

My call is, no matter what special relationship you believe you have with a celestial father, make sure you challenge the things that have been built around the loose concept of faith.

I have always known religion to be inherently insane but the level Africans take this insanity to is heart-breaking.

I always summarize by disdain for religion as this; “Religion is violent, irrational, makes absurd claims which it hates to be challenged, allied to racism, tribalism, bigotry, glorifies ignorance and invests heavily in the oppression of women and continues to terrorise children—and I am sure I have not mentioned its hostility to free inquiry.”

We all have different rights today which we pride ourselves with not because religion made these things possible, it’s because people with secular minds challenged the sovereignty of religion and brought us these rights

Religion may serve you a purpose, but humanity comes first. And to preserve humanity, human values such as equal rights for all must be championed, even if religion forbids it.

The black man has equal rights not because of religion, women are being elevated and granted equal rights not because of religion—but because humanism has made these a priority.

You may claim to derive esteem benefits from religion; but remember that, being human comes first!

    • The difference is that they didn’t base their doings on any form of faith/religion. They were just individually evil, BIG DIFFERENCE!

      • and it happened that they were all atheists, right?
        why is it that you judge christianity as a whole and not on INDIVIDUAL basis
        Some christians also do good to society, why don’t you ascribe their deeds to all christians?
        why cant i say all atheists will do the same thing they did?

  1. Cool we understand you don’t like Christianity and so one but why don’t you also talk about other religions like Islam? What about isis and boko haram??? Christianity talks a lot about humanity and to love one another.

    • Gc writes about boko haram and isis all the time so what are you talking about. Why don’t you search on the site for those keywords

      • Am talking about what I wrote and I know that there are articles written about the two groups but it’s not written in a way to condemn the Islamic religion. It’s just articles on what happened. You get it??
