Who thinks that organized religion has on the whole, throughout history, been a good think for the utility of humanity as a whole.

Ignore whether you believe in the salvation of souls/reincarnation etc...

But include earthly benefits to happiness unrelated to material prosperity e.g. warm fuzzy feelings because you believe in God.

I personally don't like organized religion.
But I also don't care if other people like it.
When they try to use religion to rule my own life is when I get very angry at it.

[Taors]

Hate it.

Also, what Puke said.

I'm not a fan of big religion, which manipulates people via their faith. Almost every major advance in human thought has been opposed by organized religion. Much of the misery of the world is brought about by organized religion, which seeks to evade reality in favor of myth.
