Yes.

Some people emotionally connect to imaginary concepts that don’t really exist.

Thats going to have consequences with young people still developing minds.

Peoples environment, and their upbringing effects observation, logic and ethics.

My view is that religion can corrupt the minds of young people when they emotionally connect to imaginary concepts, it somehow forces them into a compromised position.?

It’s something I find difficult to understand.

It’s not just religion. Humans are tribal creatures (generally speaking). We want to fit in, belong somewhere, be surrounded by people who understand. And sometimes, we fall for promises that things will be better.

Have you ever been to an Amway demonstration or Tupperware party? The same tactics to recruit people into religion are used to recruit people into MLMs. Romance scams, too.

These days we see people falling in love with AI bots. Using bots as a therapist. Falling for age-old tactics preying on insecurities.

so it’s all team sports

Someone got picked last for the team.
