Though religion gives people hope in times of need, I honestly think we’d be MUCH better off without it. Too many people use it as a crutch when they’re in bad times, but when they get over it they just keep leaning on that crutch to bull**** with it. Then they honestly start thinking they’re really in need of that crutch, so it goes from using a strong leg to keep you up when you need it, to using it all the time as an excuse.

It does good sometimes, but that’s far out-weighed by the bad. Too many people use it as a title of superiority, such as christians when they pull holier than thou bull**** and try to talk down to you and stuff of that sort. Then there’s the people that use it for some sense of entitlement like some jews, that think that the reason they own Israel and should never give it up is because they’re “gods chosen people” so they’re entitled to take anything in that area that they see fit.

Just in the end it causes more problems than it helps or fixes, good people can become total bumheads, and sometimes outright fanatical zealots thanks to what some religions try to do or hammer into their followers which in-turn makes the followers hammer into their kids.
