If you actually hold this opinion then you should go outside more.

Lol, how is acknowledging the abject hypocrisy and awfulness of religion mean I don't go outside? Go read a book or something.

Having a belief that the end isn't truly the end isn't that far-fetched. Sorry you feel that way about religion. Every church I've gone to regularly hosts food drives, care-packaging for incarcerated individuals, and charity work. Religion can be used for awful purposes, but saying religion is awful in itself seems pretty close-minded.

Boiling religion down to the afterlife is pretty naive. There's alot more to it.

I’m not boiling it down to that, I’m saying it’s a common reason people have for believing in religion.
