(148,432 posts)it is a benefit to society. Sadly, many religious groups do the exact opposite, encouraging bigotry and animosity toward some people. The problem for non-believers is in know which groups are which, frankly.
Personally, I believe that the problems begin when religious believers and groups think they're belief is superior to the beliefs of others and behave based on that in relating to others.
When that occurs, and it does occur on a frequent, regular basis, then I question the usefulness of religion to society. One needn't look far to see examples of religion being harmful to society.
As I say frequently here, I don't care what people believe regarding religion. It is their actions that concern me. If they behave well towards others, I have no argument with them. If not, however, I do have an argument to make with them. Unfortunately, I find many reasons to argue. Would it were not so.
