Religion stifles Moral Evolution

[Brian37]

While religion can stall moral progress, it can also form a barrier to moral corruption, or provide an alternative to anarchy.

It's a tool that can and has been used both positively and negatively in regards to moral progress.

I think, in general, in first world well off populations, things have been sorted out a bit.  But amongst the poor, rich, or less developed countries, they definitely can still benefit from some of the better forms of religion.

No, religion is nothing but a comic book reflection of our ability to do either good or bad.

Diversion is not a cure, it distracts, but it does not solve.
