I agree in the sense that any useful tool is a weapon in the wrong hands. I would argue (partly against my own point on religion) that current avenues open to mentally unhealthy individuals rarely count as treatment.

I would also propose that a proper handling of mental health has the potential to reduce the negative effects of both religious and authoritarian tendencies.

I mean mental health here, not just for those we consider to be sick, but for all of us as a mental "immune" system to guard against propaganda and inflammatory personalities.

Instead of giving the state another avenue for oppression, what if we label religion as the disease that it is and work with mental health professionals to develop a treatment for it?
