I mean, depending on who's doing the teaching, a lot of these "good teachings" in religious societies include stuff like murdering gay people and rape victims, child marriage, genital mutilation, etc.

So it's not the religion thats bad but the people .  A debate can go on for a while, such as has religion done more good than bad.  To me the ratio is probably a million to one. Theres way more good being done on a daily basis than bad. But even if you were to take away religion, it does stop the messed up people doing stupid sad things.  You eliminate religious cults, and others pop up not relating to the 3 main religions. I think it will be a scarier world to be honest.

That's my point; religion is not inherently bad, but neither is it inherently good.

Morality is independent of religion.
