> Teaching magical thinking, false promises of afterlife, and hatred for outgroups can warp peoples’s whole lives.

Saying this is also outgrouping people.

Strongly disagree. That theory says that any criticism of anyone is "outgrouping". The word loses all meaning.

I can say that people who, IMO, teach children these harmful falsehoods are doing the wrong thing. WITHOUT saying they should be treated badly as a group, or jailed, or that they have bad hygiene, or anything else.

If we can't disagree with specific behaviors, I don't know what's left.

There's a lot left. "Religion" is not a tightly knit group with a single set of behaviours or teachings. I don't think I can agree that opposing that straw man to end all straw men is the same as disallowing any criticism of anyone.
