Especially in the Middle East and a large proportion of Africa?

EDIT:

What I mean by “religious toxicity” is being very religious to the point of hating the non-religious, and secularism.

EDIT 2:

I’m not surprised that religions like Christianity and Islam still exist, I’m surprised that there are still so many super religious Christians and (especially) Muslims out there. If I’m going to be honest, it concerns me.

    I think a lot of people can’t figure out the world, so they rely on religion to tell them what’s good, what’s bad, who’s good, who’s bad. The rely on it to “understand” the world.

    In my experience many, many people really have to simplify the world. They can’t see shades of gray or nuance, they need black and white.
