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.

You are also using the word "retarded" again gratuitously, knowing that I have a seriously autistic brother. That's neither big nor clever.
I'm sorry, but the intellectually inferiority of your friends is an obvious fact that you should recognize.
You will never win an argument for no other reason than that you have an autistic brother. You shouldn't even mention it.
I'm getting tired of explaining to you that an ad hominem is not always a bad thing. It can be perfectly logical and necessary in many cases.
You have no point. People all over the place do things that are not healthful. They smoke their lungs out. They eat till they burst. They engage in disease transmitting activities. Parents generally do have control over their children's health and safety. Sometimes parents do things that you might not agree should be done. Most parents, especially religious parents, make decisions that their children later approve very much. Very few parent do things that should not be done, and when they do it is not because of religion as has been thoroughly established here. I admire your efforts to persuade people to stop doing harmful things to their children, but you are obviously not going to be effective. Your superficial understanding of science, religion, society, and law is no help whatever. You might rather enjoy fishing. Do you live near well stocked waters?
