There aren't many discussions about religion on HN but a topic related to it should prompt some, and I have no other outlet. Reddit isn't a very good place for it either.
You pretty much torpedoed any chance of a productive discussion on the subject when you opened with "religion should be classified as a mental disorder." That comment is weapons-grade flamebait on a discussion board and probably not something you'd say in mixed company in real life either.
It's the conclusion I've come to after spending literally an entire life in a religious culture.
What would be your argument and which experience is it based upon?
> not something you'd say in mixed company in real life either.
Some people here criticize religion in private company, but would not dare to do so publicly, because of the very real threats to their very life they would face precisely because of religion.
