It's a very huge topic to discuss, and I feel you won't go into it.
You are a very long way from being a credible arbiter of people's ignorance, given your own. I have no idea why you have taken a sharp left turn to talk about "Sensitivity", which is unrelated to the conversation.
There is only one deep perception of religion, and that is a recognition that humanity is not the be-all-and-end-all but a subset of larger edifices. The other "deep perceptions" are almost always just based on cultural norms, but elevated to divine status to better manipulate the masses.
See, People are ignorant believing "Sensitivity". Don't know what to be given trust and what not, so ignorantly stand up against "Religions and it's views" as if they are All-knower.
I don't know what to Manipulate in this case. Why try to Manipulate? What religions try to cover up by manipulation?
You see, if People get power other than Religious, Society gets ruin. That's all it is. Drug addicts increase, Selfish Uncaring People increases, Uncontrollable Sexual Intercourse in Teenage with 'n' Number of Girlfriends and Boyfriends, People are let do whatever they want and never care about Society and act Irresponsible Manner. I think you won't deny the Dominance of these Drug related and Careless Behaviour upon Family and Country.
See, there is need of Fear to touch these things and arise of Careless attitude, and Religions (and it's so called 'superstitions') had maintained it properly, which the so called 'Freedom' or 'Athiest' behaviour fail to put in check. No way can these 'Athiest' can bring these things jn control, as the Drug addicts and Careless One's say "We have freedom to do whatever we want. The Government also never cares and makes dealings with Major Drug Dealers for Money and Power. Let the Government shall take action upon me, I never care. But, Who you are to ask me? Go **** yourself you Mother ****." What is your reply to them? But, Religious (and it's so called 'superstitions') has stronger reply to them and you might know all these.
Religions and Traditions, are all to Maintain society in holistic level, as well as to remind One that to not trust 'senses' and atleast to put down attachments to world at the time of Death.
In other words, you believe that the only way people can behave well is for them to believe in a phantasm imagined by goat herders in the Iron Age Middle East.
I don't do any of the things you are complaining about, and I'm not religious at all. How can you explain that? How can I possibly behave myself like a normal human being without believing in the fever dreams of antiquity?
What about actually having character? Having a moral core based on empathy and understanding? No, it is necessary to believe in patent bloody nonsense, at least according to you and some other theists.
