I sincerely believe that at this point.
If people really want to push aims, any sort of mental or intellectual or ideological hinderance to facing the truth of how the universe works or what the latest knowledge in any scientific or rhetorical field is ultimately detrimental.
Religiousity is a tool which is used to control a group of people who would much rather be served by applying their energy in more practical ways and investing that energy into more useful intellectual pursuits.
Every 10% given to a church is money that can be used for a personal investment of self or community venture.
Every hour spent on reading religious texts could be spent on school-work or round-tables to create businesses and political agendas.
Every thought devoted towards the acknowledgement of a deity is a waste of energy better devoted towards embracing reality and taking useful advancements in the welfare of themselves and those around them.
If you're pro-black and really want to see society win, religion MUST go.
As long as people are slaves to that mentality and even invested in the INVESTIGATION of religious claims (and this includes all forms of pseudoscience, quackery, and general ignorance towards logical fallacies or cognitive biases) then they can never truly be immune from the mental and PHYSICAL captivity they find themselves in.
Black people are religious because we're innately tribal and clannish. We are not tribal/clannish like other races who become sheeple and one image. Being around each other gives us the will to go on. We are only this way because we realize the church serves to shelter us physically, mentally, and spiritually from this cold world we were born in. As long as black folk feel threatened and unwelcome in this world there will be some type of "church". Look, as I got older I moved away from the church because of awareness and inner growth. However, regardless of a local Pastor, or a TD Jakes, Benny Hinn, anyone with common sense can step outside and see that there is something greater than life that is beyond science and logic and man can't create none of that.
Atheism is nothing but another nickname for satanism. Humble yourself bruh before it's too late. That second death ain't nothing to play with

. Now if you meant to address the extremists who put religion far above their own identity, then I can see where you are coming from.
