If you want proof of the extent of damage religion can do, just look to the middle east. And please, don't even fool yourself for one second into thinking that christianity is any better than islam. It is just as harsh, cruel, idiotic, and destructive. Just take a quick look at history. Or, you can even look up the bonfire of the vanities. And no, not the movie.
