Can we talk ethics of deconverting / challenging peoples faith?

I feel like im the only non believer I know that actively challenges people.

I hear it a lot that you should “let them be happy”.

And.., it’s the stupidest fucking thing. I’ve used SE on atheists over this too lol.

But.. you’re telling me I should let people be happy in their homophobic, sexist, climate science denying belief systems?

Shits dangerous imo. Lady at my friends churches husband died of Covid. My friend is antivax.

So…. I think yeah I may take away someone’s happiness for a bit, but.. fuck if you can be happy in a religion you can find happiness away from it too.

The thing I’m not so sure about is those people that need religion to not be shitty.

One guy I know has been to jail a few times. Another guy was cheating on his wife. Maybe religion is good for them? Idk.

What are your thoughts on the ethics of SE? It’s a good thing right?
