Religion itself may be a horribly misdirected good intention. That I would be willing to entertain. But I cant say its entirely a scourge. It is seperate from faith and spirituality, as it is a physical manifestation of such, imo.

I dont want anyone to be hurt, and I dont neccessarily believe that God(s) do or do not exist. I think that if someones faith brings them joy and enhances their life, and that they are not harming others to acheive this, that that is a wonderful thing worth noting.
