Why do people believe religious texts?

As someone who lives in the bible belt where lynching is common, you have to understand that brainwashing is so damn extreme it nearly makes one sick. Children are commonly scared shitless into christianity, and they're taught to hate homosexuals and atheists no matter how kind they are. It's terrible, but if I say or do anything I'll probably be killed....or at least shunned from my family.

Check out "Hell House" on youtube for a good look at what Christians are doing to kids.

And you honestly think you will be killed for being an atheist? I find that a little hard to believe. I know believers can be kooks, but they're going to kill someone who doesn't believe? Where do you live?
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
