I hate the shows unexpected/16 and pregnant

I’ve been recently watching the show unexpected and my first thought is always abortion but I know the premise of the show wouldn’t exist so I suck it up and watch. I hope it is convincing people especially teenagers to not have kids. The show is awful, the boys (because they’re teenagers are awful) they don’t respect pregnancy or giving birth, they usually never stay or help out the next season you always see the couples have split up if they even came back for the next season. There’s always fights and arguments. The men saying a bunch of crap to these young girl. And they’re super young between 14-19 years old getting pregnant sometimes having 2 kids that young. I don’t get it. Idk if that’s just what high school is about but I hope it is convincing the new generation to be childfree because it looks like a nightmare.

Religion is something people cannot control like their skin color or sexuality.

We know that indoctrination with religion is very common. It starts at birth, it may even start in the womb with prayers, sermons, and worship music, but I believe it starts even earlier than that it is a genetic predisposition just like adhd, autism, schizophrenia etc. Of course people can choose different religions, but the natural inclination to be religious I don’t think is a choice and vice versa. I say this because I noticed a pattern there are people that nothing you say or do would ever get them to stop believing in a God. In fact they might get angry if you present something of the contrary and have to have some sort of link to the religion, a simple God may not be real is not enough. The same is for me, nothing anyone says or does could get me to believe and trust me I’ve tried, but it all just feels so performative. This past weekend was Easter for Christians and everyone keeps posting even people you didn’t know were religious praising the lord etc. and I don’t get it.. I can’t believe in a God and even if I entertained the idea that God was real why all the suffering then just seems sadistic. There’s this theory floating around that some people just how they were born and wired need religion to survive so I’m wondering if it’s one of those things deeply ingrained at birth that some can’t break out of and also don’t want to. And I believe that theory is why we have religion. Some humans are hardwired in a way that they need God.
