Religion can be a good thing and it can be a bad thing.
It provides comfort in times of distress and hope for the future, even if that future is only in a promised next life.
On the other had, religion can be and often is the cause of much of the strife and evil in the world. Members of one religion can arrogantly insist that their beliefs are the only true beliefs and that all others are false. Devout religious people can persecute and kill members of another religion simply because they hold different beliefs. Religious intolerance can spread hatred and fear. Even when missionaries convert one member of a family in another faith, they can cause discord, sometimes resulting in family members refusing to acknowledge each other.
