I agree, but I also fear religious people. Religion has time and time again interfered with people's autonomy.

It still does to this day. Women in Oman, for example need a man (even if it is their son) to approve of her surgery. A woman needed surgery, but had no male relatives closeby to approve it for her. It was an emergency. Thankfully it was approved, but required a lawyer.

Christianity isn't any better where I live.

Religion is fine on a personal level, but dangerous for everyone on a larger scale.

You seem to be conflating religion and culture with regards to Oman.
