Religions need to be rebooted. How many times are they in the news for abuse of power, inappropriate behavior, disputes over land and their rules, and their influence on politics and government? Too many, if you ask me.

It's not a bad thing to regularly get people together, form community, and care for each other. They just need to get with the times, man.

Suggestions:

  • don't shun "non-believers"
  • stop touching children
  • don't kill people for inappropriately invoking your God's name or image
  • focus less on afterlife and more on the present
  • don't try to keep people stupid, the Internet exists and once they find out you'll lose them forever
  • don't go full zealot on cherry-picked texts while completely ignoring other ones to make arguments.
  • don't be a dick
  • have checks on power, money, and influence
  • ain't no one got time to read tomes
