Religion has, historically speaking, been the greatest force for good our planet has ever seen.

And the greatest force for evil our planet has ever seen. Witness all the atrocities being perpetrated in the name of religion, from religious terrorism (9/11, the OK City bombing, the "witch hunts" in Africa) to whole wars (the Crusades and the current conflicts in the Middle East). No amount of "good" can ever outweigh the pain and suffering brought by acts like these.

Religion is a tool created by men to control other men by leveraging mankind's innate fear of the unknown and the different. Anyone who believes otherwise is too wrapped up in one's beliefs to see what is real or to think rationally or objectively -- what could be called "not seeing the forest for the trees".
