If religion is the opiate of the masses, is education the methadone cure?

Question

What's the best way to rescue someone from the propaganda fed brainwashing of religion?

Answer 1

You shall WASH YOUR BRAIN thoroughly, bring it back to a sort of virginity. Discard all what is in your brain without being sentimental about it, and fiercely discard all the existing objects of veneration in it that were prefabricated by power-seeking dogmatic monsters for you, then go out into nature and admire landscapes, all life, the glowing or starry sky. Admire a beautiful person of the other sex. Do the same in the city and among people. Do the same about technology. Start your own program of calmly re-defining all nature by looking at the nature around you and studying all what you can about it. Start considering your own impulses and wishes and dreams and try to see if you can re-define your way of explaining them to yourself and to others. Decide for example to dedicate the coming twenty years of your life to this holy process, to this adventure. At the same time you may also try to secure some higher formal education for yourself, in case you don't have it already, in order to get some formal "authorization" that you can refer to in case you speak with some sceptical contemptuous derisive others and also to confirm that you are well "integrated" in the existing human society..

All this demands a huge and always very dangerous work. All great adventures are very hard and very dangerous. On the other hand you may choose not to bother at all about all this. You are already illuminated and fiercy. You can enjoy life and go on enriching the World with your existing superiority. No?
