Organised Religion is good for people, because it keeps them from believing even crazier ideas, and still tells you to see a doctor when you're sick

Most of the people who go to Organised Religion don't really believe in God, they're just in it for the tea and biscuits, ie it's a social club.

If you really believed in God and Heaven you'd become a monk or nun, logically you'd spend your finite life maximising your chance of infinite reward

Without Organised Religion you get antivax people, way more dangerous than people who spend 500 years building a cool building
