It can be shown that the set of omniscient beings is empty using the sentence:
This sentence isn’t known to be true by any omniscient being.
Since some religions hinge on omniscient being existing, this sentence shows the fallacy involved in those religions.

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
I doubt that anyone does not really believe in God. People may think they don’t have any belief, but you will usually find that somewhere down in a human being’s soul there is a belief in something beyond himself. In any case, I would not judge a man’s character by his belief or unbelief. I would judge his character by his deeds; and no matter what he said about his beliefs, his behavior would soon show whether he was a man of good character or bad.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1956-08), “If You Ask Me,” McCall’s Magazine, Vol. 83More about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-eleanor/29…

Just like christianity, islam has several anti woman and anti queer verses:
The bible has similar or worse verses to most of these but I assume you already agree with my dislike of christian texts since you didnt mention anything about it but apparently islamic texts are untouchable
If a man who is not married is seized committing sodomy, he will be stoned to death.
https://sunnah.com/abudawud:4463Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) cursed those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of women and those women who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of men
https://sunnah.com/bukhari:5885Sunan Ibn Majah 3:9:1853
No woman can fulfill her duty towards Allah until she fulfills her duty towards her husband. If he asks her (for intimacy) even if she is on her camel saddle, she should not refuse.'Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 3272,6547
When Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) was asked which woman was best he replied, "The one who pleases (her husband) when he looks at her, obeys him when he gives a (lawful) command, and does not go against his (lawful) wishes regarding her person or property by doing anything of which he disapproves."surah 2:222
They ask you about menstruation. Say: “It is a state of impurity; so keep away from women in the state of menstruation,238
and do not approach them until they are cleansed.surah 2:223 (Sahih International)
Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish and put forth [righteousness] for yourselves.surah 4:11 (Sahih International)
Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females.surah 4:34 (Sahih International)
Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth.surah 5:6
Believers! When you stand up for Prayer wash your faces and your hands up to the elbows, and wipe your heads, and wash your feet up to the ankles. 24
And if you are in the state of ritual impurity, purify yourselves (by taking a bath). 25
But if you are either ill, travelling, have satisfied a want of nature or have had contact with women and find no water then have recourse to clean earth and wipe your faces and your hands therewith. 26 -

This is a long way to say: If you don't understand the effects of cognitive dissonance, and don't unpack your own internal contradictions, you can be more easily manipulated into behaviors and beliefs you would not *consciously* agree with.
If you like free agency and are a big fan of free will, this is the sort of thing you need to work on.

Theological concepts like "The Problem of Evil" aren't just atheist gotchas. The contradictions within certain theologies can exist unawares within the minds of believers, causing dissonance that comes out in ways that perpetuate and allow harms to continue.
For instance, even if a Christian believer has not consciously considered the Problem of Evil, they will still feel this contradiction whenever it is encountered:
1. God is good.
2. God is omnipotent.
3. God allows evil to exist.They will have many sideways methods of resolving this discomfort, which will vary from person to person and from situation to situation.
They may, for instance, lean on Just World views (the feeling that the world is automatically fair and so if someone is disadvantaged they must have done something to deserve it) when it comes to LGBTQ issues. God is good, and omnipotent, so if a queer person is suffering, it isn't because their church community has stigmatized them or because church doctrines about God's will are wrong (or further, that God might not exist or might not be good), no it must be proof that being queer is sinful and they deserve their suffering.
This same formula applies in many other areas, including towards abuse victims.
The contradictions within many popular forms of theism are not harmless. They get resolved, usually unconsciously, by organizations and individuals. When they are resolved without mindful consideration of the consequences, people get hurt.
For abusers and powertrippers? This is by design, to their benefit, and more likely to be conscious.

Η πεποίθηση ότι ένα θεϊκό ον ξεκινά το σύμπαν και στη συνέχεια «κάθεται» και παρακολουθεί τα συμβάντα να ξεδιπλώνονται, χωρίς να συμμετέχει άμεσα στις υποθέσεις, είναι γνωστή ως #ντεϊσμός. Εδώ ο #Θεός θεωρείται ένας κοσμικός μηχανικός. Αντίθετα, ο #θεϊσμός είναι η πίστη σε έναν Θεό που είναι δημιουργός του σύμπαντος και ο οποίος επίσης παραμένει άμεσα εμπλεκόμενος στην καθημερινή λειτουργία του κόσμου, ειδικά στις υποθέσεις των ανθρώπων. Ο Θεός διατηρεί έναν προσωπικό και καθοδηγητικό ρόλο. Τόσο στον ντεϊσμό όσο και στον θεϊσμό, ο Θεός θεωρείται εξ ολοκλήρου εκτός, και πέρα από το φυσικό σύμπαν. Στον #πανθεϊσμό, δεν γίνεται τέτοιος διαχωρισμός μεταξύ του Θεού και του φυσικού σύμπαντος. Ο Θεός ταυτίζεται με την ίδια τη φύση: όλα είναι μέρος του Θεού και ο Θεός είναι σε όλα.
Belief that a divine being starts the Universe then `sits back' and
watchs events unfold, taking no direct part in affairs, is known as
#deism. Here #God is considered a cosmic engineer. In contrast, #theism is
the belief in a God who is creator of the Universe and who also remains
directly involved in the day-to-day running of the world, especially the
affairs of human beings. God maintains a personal and guiding role. In
both deism and theism, God is regarded as wholly other than, and beyond,
the physical Universe. In #pantheism, no such separation is made between
God and the physical Universe. God is identified with Nature itself:
everything is a part of God and God is in everything.

Non-theistic God Beliefs - WTF?
https://www.tiktok.com/@answersinreason/video/7362504807392742688theism, in the broadest sense, is understood as belief in at least one deity, so it's not surprising that when someone says deism or pantheism are not forms of theism it raises a few eyebrows. hopefully this will clear up the reason some god beliefs like #deism #pantheism #pandeism are not regarded as forms of #theism and we therefore have #nontheistic #god #belief

We really need to stop calling obvious schizophrenia, manic delusions, and psychosis ‘unverified personal gnosis.’ A person whom I knew 15 years ago has persistent beliefs, regardless of facts, that they knew me in a past life and we made some pact to alter the future to save the world from Nazis. It’s insane, but everyone in the occult Discord is nodding their heads and validating it.
A delusion is a persistent belief regardless of facts. This person has dreams and hallucinations that they believe are gods, spirits, and telepathy. In these hallucinations and delusions, the spirits tell them who random strangers were in a past life. A lot of these delusions are obviously paranoid and inevitably roll into a conspiracy theory about Nazis. This is very terrifying. This means, based on a random occurrence with a person, they will create a parasocial narrative that manifests as them knowing this person.
Most schizophrenia delusions emerge from noise and thus have no actual information. You can uncover that it is a delusion by asking the person for details. For example, if they make a claim about remembering a past life in Egypt, you can do the equivalent of asking them who the President of the United States is now. I did that with this person. They were claiming to have known me and other people in a past life in Egypt 3000 years ago, so I looked up what was going on around that time. I asked them who the high priest was, who the pharaoh was, and what they remember happening around that time. All of it was wrong.
That caused most of that Discord to jump all over me and imply that it was fine because it was their personal gnosis. To be clear, this person is creating parasocial relationships and narratives based on delusional narratives that they are applying to random people they meet.
Phrasing things as they happened in a different reality or a past life is a way to avoid the falsification of and is a way to rationalize the delusion. Claiming that you knew a person in a past life is a way to justify the parasocial relationship. It is not unverified personal gnosis. It’s mental illness. There is nothing magical about mental illness. If I had a nickel for every time a schizophrenic occultist spun up a delusional narrative to justify an adversarial parasocial relationship with me, I’d be rich. This is a major problem.
