Religion was created by man as a way for rulers to manage their people. If a governing body gives the people material things of comfort and supplies "holy" literature to them that promises an eternal life, will that make them subordinate and non-rebellious? I think it would.
Would there be more order in the world if the people of the world would invest that energy assigned to religion to caring for themselves, others, and the planet?

As many great leaders have stated that religion is a way to help unify the masses. I dont think there is much point to it other than have something in common to fight others with. Just look at history and what Empires all have in common, a main religion they follow to "unify". Just my thoughts

Religion does no harm. It is the practioners of religions that do harm. There are many good one though. Many that do care for others. THey just do not get the publicity that the bad ones do.

You have generalized a topic and named it as fact. I find it curious that you only feel Christianity practiced in the US has done this harm. So, Christianity practiced outside the US hasn't done any harm?
I believe your perception of who God is is way off.

Because mainstream Christianity appears to be more of a political force than a religious one.
