Yeah, you’re right. The “more harm than good” statement is impossible to prove, but I went with it to show it did not matter anyway Log in to see images! Most people that use the “more bad than good” argument don’t realize that religion was one of the main reasons people first came together in larger groups than hunter/gather tribes, and is more or less the first ‘step’ in the road to civilization. Also, it was one of the first steps to math and science because it was a major part of primitive abstraction abilities. Atheistic hunter/gather tribes can’t understand number, because they can’t abstract. http://www.ascentofhumanity.com/chapter2-7.php ‘Course, that does not mean it’s currently ‘good.’ But, yes you’re right we would have to build a working definition of ‘good’ first.
