Religion is Harmful to Society

RE: Religion is Harmful to Society
(May 11, 2015 at 6:21 pm)mbk734 Wrote: I can think of a few good things religion does but several more things that are harmful to people/society (particularly young people):

Good things:
Controls the masses (fear of God/sinning), gives terminally ill/elderly (false) hope, many volunteer/help the homeless/poor, there is some wisdom in some of the religious texts, but mostly BS

Bad things:
Radicalism, terrorism, gang like, brainwashes young people, false hope of afterlife, puts fear in people, religious institutions are tax-free businesses, people waste their time at religious institutions/reading about religion, religion makes us superior to animals and pits religions against each other (tribe like)

Please help me add to my list either good things or bad things about religion. Thank you.
Christians are superior to animals, but I understand why you would think that atheists are not.
