I thought Weinberg had it that it's good people using religion to do bad things. Either you now disagree with Weinberg and say it's bad people that use religion to do bad things, or you need to reassess your response to Padraic's excellent post.
P.S. Thank you, guys, for your responses. Judging by your generally consistent answers, how I interpreted Weinberg was evidently spot on.
