You will also need to quote where I have defined religion, or that will be a second straw man.
Then it was another straw man.
Religious people are better scientists, earn more money, are better educated, have lower divorce rates and generally perform better in most metrics. Those are the facts. That you still have difficulty facing this truth is not my problem.
The group often described as "Christians" presents a problem with terminology. By some definitions, if only their own, they are "religious." By most other definitions quite large numbers of them do not fit well, are not religious. If you want to say that "religion" is a problem you could be correct if by "religion" you mean Christianity, but that is ignoring the obvious difference between much "Christianity" and all other religion. Why do you believe you have any point? You obviously do not.
Islam and other religions in very underdeveloped countries might also have people with terribly misinformed notions of their religion. That is no excuse for you to blame religion for their problems. Their problem is poverty, not religion.
People who imagine "science" is the only means to settle differences in society are obviously seriously mentally retarded. They are not scientists at all. See my first paragraph. You may join their ranks if you like. First you should know that they are particularly inept at science. They are particularly inept at making any case for any policy, which is the reason Trump is president. I'm sorry that happened. I hope a better leader is found soon.

None of which affects my point about the similarities of FGM and MGM either. It just shows your continuing propensity to go off on a tangent when you have no real answer, based on definitions which you admit are necessarily arbitrary.
You are also using the word "retarded" again gratuitously, knowing that I have a seriously autistic brother. That's neither big nor clever.
