Religion does more harm than good (Continuing)

First, I will start with rebutting my opponent's arguments and then I will continue with mine. So, first I would like to say that it's true that each religion has its laws, but we cannot say if this laws are for good or not. Actually,these laws are changing which actually changes the point of the whole religion and people in the end are somehow lied. I will give an example with Christianity. In the Old Testament it says that Jews cannot kill or do bad things to Jews but as long as the people are not Jews they can behave in whatever way they want because other people are not the chosen people by God. As we all know now The New Testament says that we are equal, and we should act like equal. This contradiction is quite big. And it sounds that in a way Jews were using their religion to do whatever they want and to put whatever titles they want. As we all know, it's not proves that anybody has talked to God and we cannot say that there is a chosen people. Therefore, I believe that is more likely religion's laws to be created to justify people's actions and to make them look innocent which is immoral and actually morality is in the basics of every religion. Second, the statement that religion has brought civilization out of the savage is quite brief. I agree that people need something to inspire them and to give them a push towards their goals and future achievements but I do not agree that religion is exactly this thing. And I don't agree with the example with depressed people to turn to religion when they feel depressed. They may use religion sometimes, but not all of them and is not religion that helps them go through depression. Let's take hospitals where these people are helped to go through depression. Non of these places use religion methods to help people. They are based on real things like family support, solving problems and learning to believe in themselves. This proves that religious illusions are unnecessary to help depressed people go through their problems. Motivation is not necessary to come with religion, motivation comes with many other things. Actually, bringing motivation to people is a huge business and there are motivational speakers who use nothing but facts and your weaknesses against you, stimulating you to follow you goals and dreams and professionals among these motivational speakers never uses religion in their speeches. Third, I agree that religion may reveal unneeded stress. But I believe that this concerns people who are religious. You cannot say that an atheist would reveal his stress throughout religion. How you reveal your stress is a personal choice and many people use realistic things like a vacation or doing hobbies to reveal their stress. What is more, religion doesn't give exact, sure answers about the questions without answers, it suggests answers and even religious people admit that they cannot be sure which proves that religion doesn't take away the doubts in people. Also, there is nothing wrong with trying to answer these questions, and thinking about them because that's what differentiates us from animals- we are a thinking creatures and we are supposed to use our curiosity in the best way we can. Forth, the statements that you stated 'I accept my destiny and it was not really my decision to make because my path has already been chosen. ', 'I am not, as a person, liable for the consequences due to the above, therefore my conscience is appeased. ', 'I will continue to have everything I have so long I remain in my beliefs.' And so on, are exactly the biggest trouble that religion brings. In this way society thinks that religion will legitimate every action of theirs and they don't have to take responsibility of their actions. That is absolutely against every moral statement in every single people's beliefs. People must take responsibilities of every action of theirs and stand behind their opinions. There is no place to use religion for reducing stress here- if a person has done something wrong, he should take the responsibility for that and stress is something that is required here in order for this personality to bother himself to learn his lesson and not to repeat his immoral actions and repeat his good actions for the society an himself. Now I will continue with my arguments. My next and final argument is going to look in the economical aspect of this topic. Think of all the money that went for religion. Think of all the millionaires that were created through religion. I don't think stats are needed here. Religion institutions spend so much money for temples, religious celebration, traditions etc. And leave this, here's some shocking statistics: University of Tampa professor Ryan T. Cr gun along with students Stephanie Yeager and Desmond Vega ran some calculations and figured out a number: 'While some people may be bothered by the fact that there are pastors who live in multimillion dollar homes, this is old news to most. But here is what should bother you about these expensive homes: You are helping to pay for them! You pay for them indirectly, the same way local, state, and federal governments in the United States subsidize religion " to the tune of about $71 billion every year.' And notice... this is only for the USA. We all give money for people to become rich using religion. Money is involved so badly in religion that it have destroyed everything pure in it. Money has changed religion's idea. We are manipulated to do what we are told and to make indirectly people rich. Religion as I mention before, is something that is perfectly developed and used for manipulating people and for legitimating people's wrong actions. This is not the way how we should treat our society. We are all humans and we should all act like ones (showing humanity, responsibility). We should not use lies in order to make ourselves feel better about our actions, we should use religion as something that will reduce our stress. Religion is the easiest way to go, the easiest way to get away from our responsibilities and duties as human creatures.
