to answer the question though would be speculative at best. I see religion as a tool like anything else man has made. in that context then it is not religion that is bad but the way it is used i.e. if it were simply a means to find spirutual peace and understanding in ones life then it would be a generaly good thing. Instead what humanity has witnessed is that it is more often used as a club, wedge, or cage against others.
Thanks for the compliment, and go for it!
Btw, I agree with the bolded!
(and atheist groups can be just as guilty of that too ;-) )
They certainly can. But atheist groups don't claim to have revealed absolute truth or claim to be somehow morally superior just for being atheists.
