    Religion is one of human basic mental needs, unfortunately. Oh, prove me wrong. (with actual studies and not anecdotes)

        The least religious countries are those without a strong central organized religion. The people there are still mostly religious, just on an individual level - I live in one of those, I can see it all around.

      How about you prove yourself right before demanding that others need to?

      Fun fact, only yesterday I’ve heard in the radio about a new study about youth anxiety and their conclusion was that a sense of togetherness is what reduces anxiety and while religious communities provide that, they are not the sole provider of that sense and other communities may as well. Also “people need community” is not the same as “people need religion”, so your ridiculous claim better be not backed up by anything that confuses these two.
