Religions prey on people’s ignorance and insecurities. Stop the evil of religion.

I guess then maybe Buddhism isn't a religion under your definition. There is no god, and people are encouraged to use their own experience and thinking to make sense out of the world. That's part of the reason I was drawn to it...it made sense to me. There are certain sects that have deities and whatnot, but many do not, and the core set of beliefs are non-theist.
But we're all going to burn in hell so it doesn't matter
