Why atheism is important, and why religion is dangerous

Why atheism is important, and why religion is dangerous
This post concerns very simple reasons why atheism is important, and why religion is dangerous: 

(1) Modern science is so far mankind's best invention/tool. (Responsible for internet, modern cars, medicine, supermarket foods, surgical equipment, modern hospitals, social media as means to increase global awareness... )



(2) Although archaic science used to include religion centuries ago (See reference [B]), religion was removed from modern science in the scientific revolution (See reference [A]) when archaic science became modern science.

An example of when religion was removed from modern science is when astrology (religion/myth) was removed from astronomy (modern science). (See reference [C])



(3) Based on (2), religion opposes modern science, and that is why they were separated.



(4) Another example where religion opposes modern science, is when **non mytholgical** knowledge/progress was held back by Christianity. (See reference [D])





A question to theists here:
If religion is supposedly useful/not worthless, why was religion removed from modern science when archaic science became modern science?
