Tell me, what makes this wrong.

Nothing is wrong until you got to the bolded bit.

Not only have religious/spiritual people made tremendous and beneficial scientific advances, in many cases they have done so because of their religious beliefs, not in spite of them. Science aside, breathtakingly moving achievements in painting, sculpture, literature, and music have often been the products of religious beliefs.

True, if it wasn't for religion, Bach would not have written the wonderful music that he did  (I still think religion is silly, but that doesn't stop me enjoying the side effects!)

This is Michelangelo’s Pietà.



It’s one of my favourite sculptures. Even apart from the subject matter and the fact that Michelangelo was a devout (one might almost say ‘fanatical’) Catholic, when I look at it, I don’t see Jesus and Mary - I see a grieving mother cradling the body of her brutally murdered son. It’s terribly sad and profoundly moving.
