That's not really true. Religion itself doesn't have much if any negative impact, the extremists however do. This is evident many times throughout history and is still evident today. It is mostly religious people that oppose things like gay marriage is it not?

Extremists are neither representative nor exclusive to theism. It is a claim of ignorance and generalization to say that mostly religious people oppose gay marraige, because the term religious includes every single belief system on the planet had by a human being.

Blaming the entire religion of a people for the actions of the extremist is the same mentality that leads to genocides.

You blame the extermist's religion because its easy not because its right.

You can't generalize entire peoples because they share a couple of tenets in their belief system, making religion illegal even in organized form is persecution. Freedom of Assembly is also protected in the constitution.

I'm sorry if I was wrong about opposition to gay marriage, but religious groups are the only ones I have seen actively campaigning against it in the media.

I agree that the entire religion shouldn't be blamed for what extermists do, but also no religion = no religious extremists so even though it's not really the religions fault the religion isn't completely innocent in it either.

I don't want to generalise people, I know the vast majority of religious people are a great part of society, however the actions of the very vocal minority are much easier to see than those of the content majority.

Anything could be used in  good or bad way so should we ban everything?
