Religion pushes society back. It always has and always will. Society's progress has always occured outside of religion, but some people need it to get through the day, so I digress with that.

That's not really true. Religion was what pushed the masses towards literacy. The first book ever printed on a printing press was a Bible. Massive innovations were made in the art world during the Rennaissance that were either funded or inspired by religion. And I say this as an agonostic (or aetheist in situations like this).

I am agnostic as well and also an artist. 

Most people in Europe couldn't read, so they had to hire artists like myself to paint pictures so they could understand the stories of the bible in the church. Bibles were limited in printing and mostly the wealthy could afford them. The power of human invention is the reason why the printing press was created. It was an Asian/European transaction.
