Nothing good has ever come from religion.
At worst, it's used to manipulate people to commit horrific atrocities, genocide, and war.
Religious people are generally self-righteous and hypocritical.
Mostly, religion is used to manipulate followers in more subtle ways; what is and what isn't socially acceptable; hate against LBGTQ folks; restrict peoples freedom; manipulate followers political believes and positions they must take on political issues.
Why people believe in things that are just as absurd as believing in the tooth fairy is something I will never understand.
