Spreading religion is one of the greatest crimes one can commit against individuals and society.... because religion attacks the fundamental rules of rational thinking in people, especially the young and not quite mature minds, and thus can cause great harm.
Do you agree with this statement and, if you do, how do you see the mechanism of the harm happening?
Religion has also provided charity work in African communities at war among themselves, given academia great philosophical treatises, provided people with hospitals and built the world's first universities.
