No, I wouldn't say religion saved lives. If anything, it has (now and in the past) made people feel worse about who they really are deep down inside. I have absolutely nothing against anybody that happens to believe in God/Jesus/the bible here, but as a former Christian, I know what religion can do to insecure people, especially homosexuals. Churches aren't very accepting or welcoming of diversity, and when I attempted to get back into a church shortly after I came out a few years ago, they all shunned me unless I let God "change my sinful homosexual ways".
