[quote]Religion has done so much harm and brought so much sorrow to humanity on many different levels that it's hard to hand out a positive verdict for its whole body of work.[/qoute]
Such a wall of text and you did it wrong already in the 2'nd passage, unnecessary to continue reading.
Fix it to:
"Stupid and devil people have done in the name of a religion ..."
so maybe it will be worth reading.
and guess what there are also good people who help others in the name of a religion.
It depends on the person and its intentions.
Example:
The Knife is the devil's work - Knifes have done so much harm and brought so much sorrow to humanity
On the other hand
Knifes can be very helpful in life for good reasons.
It depends on the person who is using it and the persons intension.
