Your description of religion being a Trojan horse is very apt. To believe the crap spit out by judges about taking away the right to abortion, (especially now that it only takes a couple of pills,) you have to believe in a religion first.
First they con you into believing in magical, mystical supernatural, unsubstantiated, illogical crap. Which on the surface is benign but illogical nonsense. Who cares if you think a snake can talk. It isn't hurting me. None of these religious superstitions are ever logical. They never make much sense. But you just have to have faith, blind faith.
But then they start adding rules to these illogical claims. You believe we are the image of a God? Really? Humans don't look very god-like to me.
But now we add the rule because we are somehow god-like we got to prevent women from stopping another god-like creature from coming out of their bodies. We must control another god-like being to make the magical being that controls everything happy. Because he can't do it himself? Because though he is the creator of everything, somehow these abortion pills slipped by him?
I mean it's ok to eat chicken embryos and fetal pigs, fish embryos and stop pets from procreating. It's only humans, (who are currently destroying their own habitat,) that have a special place in this supernatural nonsense.
Religion is a Trojan horse.
