"Religion hasn't done anything good. The idea of "something else" did have a huge impact on our cognitive/social evolution and we probably wouldn't be here without it."

"Correction: it was Alain de Botton who said that if you say religion is not all bad, "on the internet you will get savage messages calling you a fascist, an idiot or a fool." Appleyard was quoting him."

"The question may be ridiculous, but I asked it in reaction to Bryan Appleyard's statement that if you say religion is not all bad, "on the internet you will get savage messages calling you a fascist, an idiot or a fool." This…"

Benjamin Cruzat commented on John Markos O'Neill's blog post 'Poll for atheists'

"The question itself is ridiculous. First off, nothing is entirely good nor bad, life is made up of shades of grey. Second, the only answer you could get that isn't born out of incredible bias or ignorance is: No, religion isn't entirely…"

"Short answer: Bad, yes. Entirely bad, no. (Although I want to say yes, I can't do so honestly.) There are some that aren't totally repulsive - mainly the more philosophical (Zen and the like)."

" As a former Catholic, ( waay back when ) I'd like to know what good is derived in supporting this misogynistic crusty old religion dictated by the Vatican ?"

Danny Sanchez commented on John Markos O'Neill's blog post 'Poll for atheists'

"Yes First anything religion can do we can do without it. Second every religion that I know of says that something is. If it does not leave room for everything to be questioned than I believe it is bad for people. If it says something like "fire…"

"No, but religions are MOSTLY bad. They do in fact do good through charity etc, but the bad they do through discrimination, dehumanization, violence, psychological harm, indoctrination of children, etc far outweighs any good they do. So... the world…"
