Is Religion a tool?

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

Certainly it's a tool. Smart people know to stay far, far away from it.

If that were true,there would be no organised religions making a series of huge carbuncles on the arse of civilisation. Instead,there would simply be vastly greater numbers of moronic superstitions of the young earth creationist variety,and far worse. IE a very great many irritating pimples.

By no means all religious people are stupid, but most stupid people are religious.Same goes for conservatives of all kinds..
