State atheism has been a motivating cause of far more oppression in the last 100 years than Christianity has been.
If you need to cherry pick examples from centuries ago to talk about the "danger of religion" when religious people, on the whole, are more charitable, empathetic and mentally healthy than irreligious, then welp.

Mary Immaculate, star of the morning
Chosen before the creation began
Chosen to bring for your bridal adorning
Woe to the serpent and rescue to man.
Sinners, we honor your sinless perfection;
Fallen and weak, for your pity we plead;
Grand us the shield of your sovereign protection,
Measure your aid by the depth of our need.
Bend from your throne at the voice of our crying,
Bend to this earth which your footsteps have trod;
Stretch out your arms to us, living and dying,
Mary Immaculate, Mother of God.
