The woman crying in this comic isn’t the religion that’s “burning down your house”
She’s just some schmoe that had her light in the dark removed and now she’s scared.
I agree, there are better ways to light the darkness than religion. Candle in the Dark is a book by Carol Sagan about how science is a candle in the dark.

Religion is their Candle in the Dark. It’s cruel to blow it out when they don’t have another light.
They use that candle to burn your house down. There are better ways to light your path.

Oh… what religion is it?
You can’t get another light until you’re in the dark.
And atheism offers any kind of light?
Atheism doesn’t offer anything. It’s a lack of belief, not a religion or anything like that.
The light has to be something internal, external, or both that makes the suffering of life worth it.
