religion; good or bad in todays society?

nearly everyone gets into heated debated about whether or not some deity created the world or controls the universe (personally makes me giggle). when it really comes down to it does religion as a whole help our world or slow it down?

1. I did not state whether or not I personally think religion is something good or bad

2. religion in some sense is a necessary aspect to the world it helps build moral values but sense clearly no one will EVER agree on one religion, people fight about it its created war and tyrants.

3. the reason i am "fucking" continuing it is because it hasn't been settled. if you had to have open heart surgery would you like the doctor not to continue while your chest is still open; if you would I'm certain that would make you the "dumbass"

Side: Bad

Religion is good in that it motivates believers to help the poor and feed the hungry.

Religion is a necessity in society, it is a moral issue. Without a higher power to answer to, it leaves u only the government to answer to, and history repeatedly tells us that option is deadly and never works. Would you rather put your faith in someone of a unnatural power or pray to your senator and hope he doesn't mis use his power over you? This is why throughout history governments have tried to break religion, they would prefer to have the god like power over you.

Please show how society has ever been left to answer to a god? You try to show us how evil secular government is, but you don't contrast it with anytime where we've been accountable to a god. Please show us that religion is anything but a man-made institution.

I never said government was evil...but they are human, and any human can misuse or abuse power. By putting your faith into an intangible, that trust is not used against you. As for examples, that yet to be seen for you and I.

I think religion in our society is bad. Everyone fights and argues over who they think is right or who or what they believe in. it slows everything down and just makes things more frustrating and aggravating for everyone.

I believe everyone should be entitled to claim whatever religion they wish. But, for some, that means completely and utterly defiling others' religions. I do not believe religion is a good thing today.

Religion has no purpose in modern society. If anything, it's merely detrimental and holds us back.

Religion is a man-made institution, and can be corrupted like any other. The problem with religion is it teaches people to rely on a force that is higher then themselves, most times a god, and yet does not provide any good evidence that would justify the belief. It's dangerous when any institution does this, and religion has consistently done this.

Religion moves into the realm of evil when it starts to deny human rights/equality to others based on race, sexual orientation, and creed. Secular societies have had to drag religions kicking and screaming into the modern era, forcing them to accept that slavery was wrong. Today we attempt to do the same with granting rights to homosexuals, but religion seems to battle us at every turn.
