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.

    From Ancient Egyptian Priests and Medieval Christianity, to Donald Trump and Boris Johnson - when in times of uncertainty, people will turn to anyone claiming to have all the answers.

    “Us Vs Them” is the oldest tactic when it comes to gaining and consolidating power.
