What is good about theism and theists?

[Werewolff]

Famously, for good people to do evil, you need religion.
I think this is still true, and you can make a pretty extensive list of evil committed purely in Gods name with little ulterior motive.

You are primarily concerned with moderate religious, rather than the fanatic.

The problem I see, is that the reasonable moderates hold the door open for the evil to walk in with a happy twinkle in their eye.
Moderates love to believe the crazy ones have nothing to do with them, but imo, they are still responsible for letting the enemy of reason in at the gates to poison the well.

So what's the logical conclusion? You can't eradicate belief in god, nor should you if you could. The problem doesn't lie with the "good" believers, it lies with the "bad" ones. Good people with stable minds should just carry on with their beliefs, as they are of no harm to anyone, and bad people, whether they claim to be religious or not, should be dealt with as they come, and their actions should be judged by their merits (I mean lack of). And of course there are lots of areas inbetween, but I'm sure mature and reasonable people can separate religion from bad people and bad actions. And yes I know that the bible and the koran have things in them which could easily be interpreted for malevolent means, but let's face it, those things don't sit well with the good ones and so they are generally ignored and disregarded. The way I look at it is that every individual has their own religion, based on a combination of their interpretation of what the religion says and their own personality. For good people to do evil, it takes all sorts of things, it could be a bad upbringing, bad habits, a warped view of the world, psychological instability, personal issues, the list goes on. Most people in the world are theists. If religion itself was such a major problem, we'd all be watching our backs all the time. But it's not like that.
