Yes. Without religion, terror groups like Al-Qaeda and the Boko Haram would never have formed, and the Earth would have suffered a lot less tragedy. Without religion, there would be no stories of kids dying due to their parents' reliance on "faith healing." Without religion, the KKK would not have formed (because white supremacy was a concept in the Bible, and the KKK are nothing if not a group of white supremacists). Without religion, the world would relatively be a lot better off, but that's not to say we'd be perfectly fine. We'd still have wars, still have terror, and still have tragedy. But I say, whatever can be done to lessen the burden should be done. And getting rid of religion would lessen the burden
