I think that on an individual basis, religions can be very good or pretty bad, on a societal/neighborhood basis, they can be pretty good or very bad, and on a national basis, they can be neutral or very evil.
With that said, I have a bias towards religions that don't require recruiting, don't incite violence in the name of their G-d, and have absolutely nothing to do with nationalism. Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, and some others have come knocking on my door to tell me I'm going to Hell, and many Christians have witnessed to me, but I never get that from Buddhists. And they never kill in Buddha's name. I have found I agree with so much Buddhist philosophy that I might as well be an atheist Buddhist, since I don't believe in the whole samsara/nirvana/Buddha part.
With that said, I'm an atheist, and an existentialist of the humanist variety.
