Controls the masses (fear of God/sinning), gives terminally ill/elderly (false) hope, many volunteer/help the homeless/poor, there is some wisdom in some of the religious texts, but mostly BS

None of those "good things" are really good things.  They are things done for bad reasons.  It matters why people do things, you can't just rationalize away things done for irrational reasons.

My SIG stands for a reason.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.
