No matter how you feel about religion, religion shapes how you live in the world. Religion affects the healthcare you access, the education you receive, the business you conduct, the food you eat, the laws that govern you, how you move through the world–even the way you measure time. Religion does all of that regardless of how done with religion you might be; ignoring religion because it seems impolite, antiquated, too political, too personal is dangerous, and it allows a lot of unnecessary and violent oppression to flourish, all while erasing the world-changing work religious people have done and do.
