It's a difficult topic for me, because I can see some advantages of religion, giving people hope and some sort of reason but in the same time I can't forget how superficial religions are, all of them, but for example Christianity- it's a religion of love but what about crusades, what about mocking people for who they love? To me, a morally good person should put helping others before some book that has been written by a bunch of random people, mistranstated, misunderstood and used against innocent people, I think all of this causes more trouble than good honestly, but maybe it's not about the religion itself but how people execute it, I don't know

I don't think questioning those things is just about being edgy, I'm just expressing my genuine concern. I've been brought up in a Christian (Catholic, sorry this time I'm being specific) household and I can see how much hypocrisy there is... Following the word of God and taking it to extremes can be extremely harmful, that's what bugs me about all of it.
I rememeber my college lecturer once mentioning the famous Bible verse, 'no man should lie with another man' etc etc, and he basically brought up dozen of different, possible meanings of this sentence. People laying where, why, maybe they shouldn't be buried together? All in all, It's all about the interpretation. I wonder why people are so focused on this specific part of the bible and not the parts that forbid people to get tattoos or work on Sundays, which they do both of, and it's not a big deal for some reason. All of this is arbitrary and blurred, but still people take it against each other. I'm just rambling but all of those things makes me ask similar questions
