Any Religious belief system forces one to at least suppress some intellectual doubt about the nature of said belief system. For example Christianity and Islam both say that their religious deity is one being, hence this is the suppression of even envisioning multiple deities. Essentially religious belief systems are structures which seek to explain the nature of the world by somehow assuming superior knowledge to those outside a given religion. Unless you believe in science fiction religious people have no more information about the nature of the world than anyone else really does, they just assume they are right and that by believing they won't go hell after they die.

I could go on to some extent, but why bother. It wouldn't change your antireligious belief system one iota.
I'll say this...those are your opinions and you're entitled to them.
And this...It isn't just one person who is the ultimate Biblical boogeyman.

1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

We're all on borrowed time.
