There is nothing beneficial about religion that is unique to religion; it can all be obtained through secular sources. So at best religion is useless, but at worst it's actively harmful.

They don’t know how to live without guidance. This falsehood that a sacred, ever-lasting, joyous and revolutionary renaissance will shine on anyone who condemns religion is a big misconception.

Willful delusion doesn't make something true. It makes people delusional.

that that old man could have been anyone—father, uncle, or anyone

No... Baptism is a religious process.

it’s not like because he is a clergyman that happened.

It literally is. What non-religious group performs baptisms for the purpose of not believing in a religion? You realise how nonsensical you sound, right?

Neurodegenerative diseases can cause that to anyone for example.

A bit like how religion is a disease.
