False.
In following god, theists have always caused more harm than good, because they are under the mistaken impression that their religious guidance is moral when in fact it is highly immoral. One merely has to take a look at history to understand all the harm religion has caused merely because theists erroneously believed they were behaving morally according to god's guidance.
What? All that harm like giving food and shelter to the poor. And all those those christian teenagers that travel each year to build free housing for destitute families. Also, don't forget that evil Mother Theresa and her band of demons in habits who still carry on her work in the streets of Calcutta ministering to the sick and homeless. Of course, I think that the people who work at the local christian food bank do so just so they can laugh at the people who come in for food. The people who cause harm by their actions are not acting according to christian principles. If you read the bible, you'll find that Jesus directed us to love our enemies.
