Good God

[Skipper]

So I've decided to actively look for the good that religion does.

I'll go dig out my microscope and join you.


Let's not forget that a lot of the "good" that religion does (charity) is little more than advertising for new members. A lot of them extort money from their members for charity to advance the interests of the church itself.

I wouldn't be that cynical. Although a lot of the good that does get done, could as easily and does as easily get done when religion isn't a factor, religion can just be a good banner to unite people under.

However, I do know a couple of elderly relatives who have a religious background and does seem to help with their impending deaths...but I guess thats a very general example and applies to most people.
