Go set theory!
Religion is a subset of the set of belief systems.
Elon Musk is a member of the set of billionaires. We could define a set with one member, Elon Musk. It would be a subset of billionaires.

Every religion is a belief system, but not every belief system a religion.
Every billionaire Elon Musk is an idiot, but not every idiot billionaire Elon Musk.

All religion is obscene.

I know you're trolling and indeed fuck the rest, but..buddhist monks? Pretty hard to have beef with. No pun intended.
I guess you could make the case that encouraging indifference towards suffering breeds a whole different class of sociopathy, but even then, at least they're the least destructive they can possibly be by just never touching anything.

Depends on the monk. The shitty Buddhists in Myanmar support genocide.

Well. "Extremist" and "nationalist" were never words I thought I would see attached to the phrase buddhist monk, but here we are, I fucking guess. That's a thing that I know now.
I'm about to just eschew anything bipedal at this point. Two legs bad.
