I call bullshit. The only good thing religion has brought to people is some great art, and maybe some peace of mind. For everyone else, war, fear, and misery. Too many people use the fear of a god that does not exist, to control people, and even governments, and call it "truth". I'm not saying people shouldn't be allowed to believe what they want to believe, but if the world is ever going to advance at the rate that we can advance, leaders need to take religion out of their decision making processes.
For example, Climate Change is real, and man made, not god made, yet some religious nut jobs try to sway government to the contrary. Stem Cell Research should be allowed and encouraged. Women should have safe, easy access to contraception and abortion, but some think this is "against god's will" and have outlawed this in many states. People should be allowed to marry who they want. Etc, etc. Can you imagine how much better off things would be?
