Perhaps we're unclear on a nuanced definition here?
"I'm not against religion. Like I said, it saved my sister in a time when her life was spiraling down the toilet.
I view religion as a ritualistic daily conveyance to "God" (take your pick) that he's in control of one's life, destiny etc, and to offer up at least gratitude for every breath while offering words audible or not, of praise, gratuity and supplication to his will, with the request of unending favours in return, to a more or less extent.
I assume this is what you're attributing to your sister's experience.
I don't have a problem with that either, per se (you still out here Koog?=). If it helps them to feel better, then that's fantastic. It's when the "sharing" starts, problems occur. If it's so great, keep it to yourself, is the lament. No different than sharing a box of gold. Seems only fool's gold is freely shared. .
Some view religion as merely repetition, which seems nihilistic to me although in it's simplicity, quite true.
Spirituality is entirely different. It doesn't require a deity nor a brood of con men to enjoy--
