"Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important."

Like it or not religion has both held back and progressed human advancements throughout our entire history. Can't stand when all these self-righteous atheists claim religion is evil and has only held us back while the hypocritical believers only see the good religion has done through their rose tinted glasses...

I think it is as false to claim religion is evil as it is to claim it is good. It is text written in a book and it is humans, not the religion in itself, that causes harm or wellbeing to other people.

I strongly agree with this. As a Christian, I get sick of being lumped into terrible sects of it while I believe in something completely different to what someone else believes in. I take no responsibility in the Crusades for two reasons, I'm not Catholic, and looking at events leading up to it, you cannot put the entire blame on Christians. The actions against innocent civilians was terrible, but you cannot simply lump all Christians together saying we are all pro-Crusades. It falls on the people at the end of the day.
