Do you believe that religion is a good or a bad thing? Please don't go overboard or the thread is likely to be closed immediately. Try and be somewhat respectful, thanks.

Bad, it's the reason for at least 80% of the wars and conflicts in the world

You cannot ask that question and not expect some meltdowns

.

I'd say it's good

Exactly.
I was raised and educated as a Christian but I don't believe in religion at all.
I think bad, uneducated people whom are religious are hypocrite for judging others for race, gender, sexual orientation etc, because religion is about love not hate.

actually



religion is merely another tool

Religion is a Good Thing if your Religion is Good .

It's a bit of both

I think it's great that people have faith and like to believe in a higher being, but once individuals start using their own beliefs to start dictating others, then it becomes a problem.

Very true.

i like religious people, i don't believe it's a bad thing

majority rules

There seems to be more bad than good. I try to be open minded towards people beliefs but every time I turn on the news I despise it more. Its hijacked this planet. There is no free place from its oppression no safe zone it's everywhere.

Both. But more so bad than good. Religion can be very helpful to those who welcome it into their lives.
Personally, I have no use for it.

Could you be more specific please ? What do you consider a good religion and what not ?

It's 70% Bad....
Religious clash, laws run under religion too so they are controlling us based on 'their" beliefs of what''s right and wrong,
30% Good......
it gives people hope. Have faith. etc
