Actually, it does teach us to think. For example, it teaches us to think that if we masturbate and don't repent, we're going to hell. "God" has his agenda and anyone who disobeys him deserves to suffer. "God" is a self-centered concept, because "god" is not caring. There is misery in this world and that is allegedly "god's doing." What caring "god" would create something to watch it suffer? "God" is supposedly in all of us, so why do I feel that it's wrong to make other living things suffer? Is that not what "Satan" does too?
And why does religion tell us that rational thought is is in some way sinfull?
Religion actually teaches us that what you and I consider to be rational thought is "irrational thought."
