sibling doesn't believe in Islam anymore.

just recently my older sister revealed to me that she doesn't believe in Islam anymore and thinks all religions are man-made. Before speaking to me about it, she searched about Islam online and from there, her search somehow ended up in visiting the #exmuslim subreddit. After reading a few topics (men having four wives, aishas ra age, slavery being promoted, a women's testimony worth half of a man's, non-muslim auto going to hell..) that the people in the ex-sub found problematic, my sister's fully convinced Islam isn't perfect and that it's actually created by men.
she also thinks extremist communities, like the taliban for ex, is true Islam. She believes in Islam, a Muslim woman's sole purpose in life is to be an oppressed housewife. I argued if that were true, then why do we see so many Muslim women successful in their careers? Her reply is that Muslim women with jobs have twisted Islam to fit their own narratives.
I'm making this post as I don't have anyone else to talk to and I just wanted some support from other girls. I know she's completely downright wrong, but my sister is the closest person to me and it's upsetting seeing her suddenly not believing in the religion we grew up with and held dearly anymore. She's 21 I'm 19.
