Religion is immoral. Belief in God is immoral.

I believe it is immoral because it negates the raw reality of suffering, evil and pain: injustice is injustice because its outcome is ultimately unjust. If God will right all wrongs, nothing is truly unjust and there is no reason to make an effort to action: God will get them in the end.
But he won't. Bad people get away with being bad. That's the tragedy of it. That's why we need to do something about it, not because God will reward you in the end, and punish them whether or not you do something.
Relief in any sort of ultimate justice is immoral and an excuse to make no immediate or direct effort. -

You've spent too long around us, traditional middle easterners don't have any conception of good and evil beyond "my team good, your team bad".
That's why God creates moral reality, he has moral exceptional isn't, except more so. Like in the Bible if God or the jedis want something then it's morally good, no matter how shitty, mean, cruel or dishonest it is. Being treated fairly, the same as everyone else, is evil to them, like when Pharoah tried to force them to integrate into Egyptian society.
Same shit with Muslims, but they were even more brutal. -

I love problems, I am on a Holy Jihad against your God, all Gods, gristle for the mill. I hope you understand, this is not personal, but I have to personally kill your gods. My unholy hands will silence the eternal screeching of gods long dead. To what end? To what end, lol. You will enjoy my new world! -

God is just a the abstraction of a persons cultural conditioning and sense of self into an abstract being.
In the middle East every tribe had a god - a carved icon. When one won over another they'd steal the other's god, and take it home, like a game of capture the flag.
Roman legionaries had bronze eagles and flags, and a fierce, religious sort of devotion to both. For their standard to be taken was an enormous embarrassment, and legionnaires fought fiercely to protect their standards.
When you read the bible and you see "God" it's just the weirdo neurotic jedi projection of their own race as the centre of the whole universe.
In this context OPs post can be understood as saying "patriotism is immoral", and OPs post makes a lot more sense when you read it like that.
