So are you against all religion, or just theirs? Coming from somebody who isn’t religious, theirs doesn’t seem any weirder than the religions professed by the majority of people on this world.

Maybe you think their beliefs are particularly pernicious for some reason?

This is not comparable to an individual freely choosing his or her religious beliefs. Rather, the ayahuasca shaman is taking advantage of their vulnerable state under the effects of the psychedelic and pushing them towards the interpretation of the experience that his tradition favours.
