I’ll agree with that. But I disagree with the targetting of religion as “these beliefs”. Domestic violence is famously high in atheist China. I have my own personal anecdotes from a very atheist/agnostic family. Religion is just aesthetic window-dressing and creates both bad and good. Believing “no pain no gain” is its own form of magic.

I agree that people don’t need religion to be bad.
But also, the more excuses we remove, the fewer places they have to hide.
Religion is not just aesthetic window dressing. It is often the willful embracing of things that cannot be measured, including deadly falsehoods.
My main issue with religion is that there is no consistent standard.
