Topic: 6 ways Religion Does More Bad Than Good

According to Valerie Tarico, there are six ways religion does more bad than good:

  1. Religion promotes tribalism
  2. Religion anchors believers to the Iron Age
  3. Religion makes a virtue out of faith
  4. Religion diverts generous impulses and good intentions
  5. Religion teaches helplessness
  6. Religions seek power

So bring a cup of coffee/tea and come speak your mind and share your views in a safe, non-threatening atmosphere.
