[quote=Anonymous]I don't think religion is inherently good or bad. Religion can provide social cohesion, community, moral guidance, and answers to existential questions. In a pluralistic society like ours, it creates competing world views and competing moral frameworks, which causes friction. Religion can also be harnessed for social control. At its worst, it can be an abusive hierarchical social system intended to consolidate power and keep people in line, as in a cult (it's worth noting that not all cults are religious - they can also be political, corporate, etc.). In my opinion, in the absence of religion, an abusive power hungry person will use other means to control others. [/quote]
