Yes.

In fact religion is the number 1 drug that has caused the most deaths in history. If it wasn't such a widespread drug it would have already been banned by people with half a brain. It's like having the world being controlled by people on Heroin 24/7 for the past 2000 years.

Edit: To clarify, the masses are the drug abusers and the leaders are the drug dealers.

Actually that's infection diseases.

 

Humanity are the drub abusers and domesticated animals are the drug dealers. 

If you want to go with analogies, then religion is most like a cancer. It spreads insidiously (blind faith parent -> children who put their whole trust at their parents), hard to get rid of, and it is extremely harmful to the body (humanity).

Thankfully people have been wising up over the past cetury or two. Give it a few more and religion will, hopefully, be completely eradicated.

 

As for people who think that religion actually helps. The proportions of eligous vs non-religions inmates is ridiculouly in favor of the religious, it doesn't even come close to the real world proportions.
