>the Bible religions exist to coerce people into signing over their souls/being enslaved in the next life. It's not the only path and all you have to do is not believe in it. But if you do believe in it and are convinced, you're in trouble.
WRONG.
ALL religions exist to convince you that ther IS A SOUL.
All, even x, builds, often, on religion. Because?
Because it's religions that invented the idea of a soul, so it fits in their specific religions and schematics. The thematic "soul" is just an overall accepted thing without thinking about it.
As long as the "soul" thematic isn't cleared, there can't be a real discussion on religions, or even without, the human mankind. WITHOUT using the religious narrative which, of course, is omnipotent in every aspect of religions and even non religious people as a consent of.... A standard "gear" the human body is born with.
