Bring Me the Horizon frontman Oli Sykes has spoken of his disdain for organised religion, with the musician believing it should be abolished.


Sykes wrote the following via Instagram:


It's time to stop ignoring the plain truth & abolish organised religion. We all know what's right & what's wrong- we feel it in our heads & in our hearts. We don't need a racist homophobic slave condoning hyped up Santa Claus to tell us how to be. The Bible approves trafficking humans, ethnic cleansing, slavery, selling brides, and for indiscriminate massacres on the reg. Believing in god doesn't make you a good person: true religion is in the life we lead & the actions we take, not in the creed we profess. #jesusslaves
