Encourage morals and values, positive goals. in theory
most religions encourage unity, tolerance, love, peace, hope, treating others as u treat
urself..etc. Religions can create communities of people who support each other.
Religions can help people leave a life of crime and drugs and turn to a good life. The
families of religious people are more likely to stay together than the families of
secular people. Religious couples are more likely to have children than non-religious
couples. A religious belief in justice in an afterlife can resolve helpless
debilitating feeling of unresolved anger. Comfort to those who lose loved ones, where
their belief that those loved ones somehow continue on in an afterlife can give them
immense inner peace.
Religion has been one of the biggest
obstructions to scientific development and success. Medical science has faced some of
the most disgusting attacks from religious fanatics hiding behind facades of morality
and righteousness. Religious leaders have used their dogma to oppress, victimize and
terrorize those who refuse to subscribe to their particular brand of bigotry. Religion
has had more to do with human selfishness and greed than with righteousness, piety,
compassion and spirituality. The evil, vicious, and greedy individuals enjoy success and
prosperity from the exploitation of the weak.
