10. they ride the coat tails of religion

You have to believe them and take them on faith that what they are doing is real, other ways of knowing and all that. Funny thing is that religions typically have some sort of "don't take their word for it, demand proof" in their writings, but those verses usually get left at the buffet line with the pizza.

Teaching children to unquestioningly believe andthing their superiors tell them is the real harm religion does. That's how we get anti vaxers, and psychics preying on people and actually causing deaths.
