What "good" are you attributing to religion?

Well lets see.  Greater value on life, community, charity.  Higher rates of happiness and wellness.  How do you not acknowledge the good religion has brought to the world?  

I'm just asking what you meant by it.

Greater value on life - unless of course you're gay, polygamous, of another religion, etc.

Community - yep, I even advocated this in my previous post in this thread.

Charity - Yep, another good aspect of religion although I would argue that instead of wasting money donating to a church it could be added to the charity instead.

Higher Rates of happiness and wellness - I'd be interested to read information about this if you have it. Sounds like it's based on a supposition.
