so the question is---- has religion, organized religion, done more good or bad over time?
i would argue that regardless of how many people have died due to religion, religion is simply an excuse for human's desire to kill each other.
if we hadn't invented religion as an excuse to kill and maim each other, we would have invented something else to satisfy that basic human urge.
