"Open your heart to Jesus" is code for ~ you can convince yourself a non-existent being is real if you try hard enough.
“Jesus loves you” is incredibly hateful. Because the missing line after that is, "and if you don't love him back, you'll pay for it by burning in hell for all eternity."
Millions of blind people exist, folks pray and God cures one ~ and that's a big deal, eh? God, or Jesus, the same guy eh, seems to be very selective about who he heals. What about the blind people who prayed, and were prayed for, and are still blind? What happened there? "God works in mysterious ways is not an explanation”.

Religion: The divided states of delusion, hubris, arrogance, ignorance, hypocrisy and stupidity. People killing each other trying to decide who has the best imaginary friend.
Faith has never filled an empty belly but filled many empty heads.
