Religion is a mental disease usually brought on by infection by the group VI reverse transcribing DNA virus called faith. Symptoms involve believing something just because someone (or occasionally a book), somewhere, says it's true. In this respect faith can be considered the chronic form of the lesser mental disorder gullibility. For synonyms, see How To Make a Million Dollars. The official catch phrase of religion is "Give us your money, and you will have a good afterlife!".
Other symptoms involve donation of money to higher powers (also known as televangelists), participation in holy wars, paraphilic arousal towards guilt, lack of sense of humour, sticks protruding from the anus, and spontaneous combustion.
It is commonly believed that religion is also able to manipulate one's personallity/point of view in such a way that the infected individual believes, and often inflicts upon others, the idea that masturbation is evil, and that homosexuals are pure, undiluted evil and deserve no rights.
