The dark side of Theism & Superstition

EDIT: I updated the subject to include superstition in general.

Warning, this subject will most likely ruin your day.

It seems every day there pops up multiple different reasons to be more and more anti-theistic. Discrimination, abuse, killings, indoctrination, etc. I can't help but feel that even if I was a believer in any of the major religions, I would still become an anti-theist because of all the anti-humanist behaviour that Theism causes.

====================================

This has to be the sickest attempt I have seen, to scare children into submission.

An illustrated book for kids in Indonesia about Hell. It's some 32 pages of sickening crap that is not something kids should have to read. You can flip through all the images at the top.

The Torments of Hell:

"To the kids, this is a glimpse preview of hell, we must be careful in life on this world."
"If we already sinned, then immediately repent, to get a mercy from Allah and spared from the torments of hell."
