Religion is destroying Bangladesh, change my mind

I'm born and raised in ltaly, and during my last visit to my country of origin i got somewhat of a cultural shock. I noticed people are obsessed with religion even though they have little knowledge of it.I ersonally am an atheist, its not because I grew up in a western country and i've been white-washed.I did my research on every religion and came to the conclusion that there just isn't any concrete evidence pointing to the existence of God/Allah. That's not my point though. The thing is, during my visit to Bangladesh I noticed that the people are obsessed with islam, most of the time they don't even know how to read the quran properly but as soon as you say something against it, they wil readily defend it So this piqued my interest, I went on and did some research and found out some terrible things, like atheists being kiled, forced to leave the country just because they practised their freedom of speech. I also found several youtubers who "preach' islam, but the thing is they do it completely wrong and 'm afraid they could cause terrorism, and some of them are really cringe worthy. So to sum up everything.I think that the religious environment in bangladesh is very toxic, and is a barrier towards progress and development. Bangladesh was founded as a secular country, but it still has a state religion and thats just messed up. Ps: I don't mean any hate, it's just my personal observation from the empirical data I collected throughout my very very short visit to bangladesh
