As a Iranian who's been muslim for half of my life
Religions at their core aren't bad, they are created to be used as a manipulation tool to pervert anarchy and chaos by putting rules that supposedly some kinda of god created.
They become unstable when few sides beliefs collide therefore new age or modern age needs new rewritten religion by some none existent god.
Just like my country that uses Religion as an excuse to manipulation people to follow the dictatory of mr x and y because their leader chosen by god or make them follow some king or family because their blood is different or connected to prophet or something.
Is it hard for a muslim to leave his religion behind?
Wasn't for me although you cannot publicly announce it , its dangerous especially in iran or saudi arabia i think it doesn't apply if you are born muslim only if you changed religion or became one based on your own decision in islam leaving means you committed "ertedad" the punishment for it is death ,burning or exile.
many people do not agree to these punishments so most of them are lowered like no finger cutting or shit, most of crimes in iran are punished by jail unless they are intense or unforgivable like rape , murder , embezzlement of high amount of money and etc , so killing someone who leaves islam behind rejects the whole concept of islamic ideology that humans are even so if one is born with or without certain qualities and perks that can be used in society they cannot change them like family,race,religion and gender.

Well said with one pretty funny typo.
"Perverting" anarchy and chaos

Preventing anarchy and chaos
