No. People are dangerous. Most dangerous when following animal instict.
Religion is about controlling that instinct. Concious choice overriding primal compulsion.
Religions promote peace, legal systems, welfare, care for others, abstract thought and incredible amounts of artistic creation. (Think Michelangelo, the Pyramids, Chinese Culture, Handels Messiah etc.)
Seems like Religion is very beneficial to me - EVEN ONES I BELIEVE ARE WRONG I SEE SOME BENEFIT WITHIN.
