I do think for myself and especially on my life all religions had a terribly negative effect on me. It pains me to even think that bullshit like that still exists in an age of enlightenment.

Christian religions are constantly trying to meddle in politics that affect my life, Islam is trying to kill me directly and while I'm not much affected by Hinduism and Shinto I know those aren't that well like in their respective states either. Generally it affects me by throwing my sense of justice out of whack since one crazy person who talks with imaginary people will be sent to a medical institution, while another crazy person who talks with imaginary people will get tax breaks and special state protection and for some reason major political power.

Common sense and basic science that are meant to advance humanity are constantly under attack by people who are allowed to say thinks like "you cannot disprove my god because my god cannot be disproven. Now give me tax breaks and political power because I believe in that arbitrary thing that cannot be proven". Yes, it affects my life and that of millions of others exclusively negatively.

everyone without fail believes in bs and the reason for that is not religion, its because humans are extremely limited inherently, so it is impossible for anyone to have a complete picture of the world 

that leads to gaps and we fill those gaps with assumptions that often are proven wrong and that goes for EVERYBODY, especially scientists actively working to discover new things

 

"Common sense and basic science that are meant to advance humanity are constantly under attack by people who are allowed to say thinks like "you cannot disprove my god because my god cannot be disproven."

as i stated above, common sense and science are in constant flux and yes they should be attacked and refined into something better as we discover more

and what if you're wrong? suppose god does exist? you can't prove it does not

Yes, science is under constant scrutiny and it should be that way. Science evolves when new information becomes available. Religion on the other hand is rigid and never changes. It still holds on to the same doctrine it had 2000 years ago despite advances in knowledge.

That's why people who are presented with good reasons why there might not be a god will still believe in god no matter what, while if you show any scientist solid proof of a god he will be the first to believe in it.

Science isn't a belief. It's a way of thinking based on solid proof or at least founded theories with lots of evidence. You don't have to belief in science, because what we learn from science has been proven with our current understanding of the universe. That is good enough to live by.

What's not good enough to live by is the belief that magic exist and some things we know today could be false. Science does not claim to have all answers, that's what religions do.
