Religion. All of them are cults. Every single fucking one.
Nothing. No other hobby even comes close to the death, genocide, rape, murder, and hate generated by that type of religious cult. It’s every single year, too. Every single year religion tops its hate, greed, and pain inflicted on everyone.
Many people engage with the cults as a hobby though. Many of my relatives would probably agree that’s about their level of involvement, but then they pay in to the beast that does all of the culty shit…
I’m pretty sure that religion was mostly used as a kind of motivational tool for the masses, but without religion there probably would have been another excuse why the enemy needs to die
I mean, Buddhists just did a genocide in Myanmar. They have a cleaner track record than Abrahamic faiths for sure, but if you spend serious time in actual Buddhist places it fills the exact same societal roles.
Neopaganism is a bit of an odd one out in that list, because it’s a newly invented thing.
Baha’is would as well, but nobody ever remembers them. The one time I saw a question about TBF on Jeopardy, it was the Final Jeopardy question, and no one got it right.
Yeah seriously. It’s pretty severely missed the point of this thread.
Ironic that it looks like someone came through and downvotes every answer in this thread other than this one, considering. It’d be pretty great if the mods banned whoever that was.

I don’t think anyone would call their religion a hobby, though.

They said hobbies not belief systems.
For a lot of people, when you look at how they spend their time, it is clear that their religion is both their belief system AND their hobby.
Think of the “Bible study” types. They’ve turned it into a hobby-like activity. Some I knew growing up clearly had nothing else. It was their hobby.
Your particular brand of invisible sky wizard is different from my particular brand of invisible sky wizard. Die heretic!

It’s always about resources and shit anyway
Edgelord atheist mad at christianity and islam: “every religion is genocide and hate, and I hate them.”
Buddhists , jains, pagans, etc: “hey excuse you buddy.”
