Religion, Secularism, And Atheism

Hello! My name is Arc and in this thread, I will be attempting to explain my interpretation of the purpose of religion and what religion is as well as putting forth an argument in favor of a more secular society. I hope that, through sharing my point of view on these topics, that I will be able to get people to think differently on these subjects. Keep in mind that this is not meant to be an attack on religion, but rather this is meant to be a way for me to express my views on the topic. This is not meant to be a means to pressure religiously devout individuals into abandoning their faith, whichever faith that may be.

Feel free to ask any questions after each post. I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on these topics! Thank you for reading!
