Benefits of religion:
-less likely to abuse alcohol or drugs
-charity
Cons of religion:
-higher homicide rate
-Higher poverty rate
-Higher infant mortality rate (who knows what's behind that one)
-Higher illiteracy rates
-higher divorce rates
-Lower levels of education
-Lower levels of gender equality
If you want to argue self-fulfillment then you're going to have to prove that no one can be happy while not believing in god, which isn't true. But other than what I listed can you give me some other benefits of being religious?
