Holly Near has a song "I Ain't Afraid" in which she talks about what is done in the name of "religion" and the complete misuse of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2xmbvFEaZE
I haven't thought of Holly Near in years! Guess I'll be reacquainting myself with her today.
I was molested by a deacon in our church when I was 11 years old, listened to a subcontract with the fish sign on his work truck tell another subcontractor that if he would use christian symbols in his advertising, he would get more business, and the stories go on and on - e.g. Mike Flynn
For me, it’s people like Flynn that use religion to further their dirty deeds, that keep me away from it
Why I ran for my life.

Holly Near - I Ain't Afraid Lyrics
Artist: Holly Near
Album: Edge
I ain't afraid of your Yahweh
I ain't afraid of your Allah
I ain't afraid of your Jesus
I'm afraid of what you do in the name of your God
I ain't afraid of your churches
I ain't afraid of your temples
I ain't afraid of your praying
I'm afraid of what you do in the name of your God
Rise up to your higher power
Free up from fear, it will devour you
Watch out for the ego of the hour
The ones who say they know it
Are the ones who will impose it on you
I ain't afraid of your Yahweh
I ain't afraid of your Allah
I ain't afraid of your Jesus
I'm afraid of what you do in the name of your God
I ain't afraid of your churches
I ain't afraid of your temples
I ain't afraid of your praying
I'm afraid of what you do in the name of your God
Rise up, and see /find/ know/ hear a higher story
Free up from the gods of war and glory
Watch out for the threats of purgatory
The spirit of the wind won’t make a killing off of sin and satan
I ain't afraid of your Bible
I ain't afraid of your Torah
I ain't afraid of your Koran
Dont let the letter of the law
Obsure the spirit of the your love--it's killing us
I ain't afraid of your Yahweh
I ain't afraid of your Allah
I ain't afraid of your Jesus
I'm afraid of what you do in the name of your God
I ain't afraid of your churches
I ain't afraid of your temples
I ain't afraid of your praying
I'm afraid of what you do in the name of your God
Money
Culture
Choices
I’m afraid of what you do in the name of your God
Sunday
Spirit
Teachers
I’m afraid of what you do in the name of your God
Sabbath
Borders
Dances
I’m afraid of what you do in the name of your God double
Children
Music
Stories
I’m afraid of what you do in the name of your God
Rise up to your higher power
Free up
Rise up to your higher power
Free up
Let's try to be highly evolved
I ain't afraid

This is the third time in the past month or so Holly Near has come up in some sort of manner. I guess its time to pay attention.
