Heresy and semantic stop signs pretty much sum up the ways Anti-Theists feel than religion is a source of harm in society.
Personally I also think about house cats.
They are genetically wild, no difference unlike dogs which have genetic changes from wolves. They are in a state of stunted emotional development. They shift their dependence from their parents to their owner.
This is why a pet dog let loose dies but a pet cat let loose will be fine, the cats finally grow up.
As an atheist and an anarchist I realize that both of those are moving on from and gaining independence from additional layers of parental figures. It adopting those beliefs feels a lot like a late additional stage of growing up. You also start to often see statists and religious people appealing to those figures a lot like siblings yelling "But Mom! Make them stop I don't like it! "
