      On top of that, religions like Christianity give terrible people an excuse to do immoral things, as much as Christians would like to believe the opposite. They can just pray for forgiveness, even for heinous unforgivable acts like murder and rape, and they seriously believe that they will spend eternity in heaven.

      Heaven must be full of child molesters and serial killers who said some magic words, at least according to their own beliefs.

        Have you ever watched the Libertine? That movie drives the point home so well.
