I am interested in your religion

It's Satanism.

Satanism is only necessary because religion is cancer though. Just like cancer, we need to use another thing that kills to kill it. I'm 100% in agreement with Satanism's tenants, but it's because they're just humanist ideals wrapped in the garb of religion to use religion as a tool.

All religions are tools. Saying "religion is cancer" overlooks all of the good things that people get out of religion, such as a community with shared values that helps each other. If you can have a religion without superstition and dogma, where's the harm? It's not religion that's cancer. It's superstition and dogma.
