Teaching creationism harms others.

Telling others they were born sinners harm others.

Telling others they must debase themselves and subordinate their rational judgement in a manner pleasing to the religionist in order to be "saved" harm others.

Telling them not being saved is not as good as being saved harms others.

All in all, religion pretty much exist in order to do harm.
