Hi from Logikos

Equally, as you say, many religious people have done good things for society. So there is no implication from "X holds to theistic belief" to "X will cause harm to society". In which case, why are you antitheism? Why not just "anti-detrimental-theists"? Indeed, why not "pro-beneficial-theists"?

What I am saying is, it has done more bad than good.

I am antitheism because theism has caused many tragedies in the past few centuries.

Hitler was a Catholic and he caused the death of millions, Catholic priests have raped innumerable children, Muslim suicide bombers and fanatics have caused the death of countless innocent people, the Serbian war was a religious one, the conflict in Ireland is also religious, and then there was the many Crusades.

Also religion has halted the advancement of knowledge, it spreads intolerance and bigotry, it changes otherwise healthy minded people into crazy shells of humans driven to do unjust actions like starving their own child because their religion has told them it will lead the kid to be healed.
