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?
