Why is that the most biased prejudiced and intolerant people are often the most religious? After all, it's only those with religious faith who condemn others to hell. They hate in the name of love.
This had led some to take the position that religion is a detriment to society. It harms us, demeans us and is an insult to human dignity. As Nobel Prize in Physics winner Steven Weinberg said regarding religion, "With or without it, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."
Such views have led an increasing number of people to eschew religion altogether and inspired atheists to decry, "Religion poisons everything."
I disagree.
