It depends on how you play it.
If you just hit the birdie back and forth without moving around very much and not moving quickly to hit it before it hits the ground, then you may only spend a few calories like light walking.
However, if you are playing against a good player and trying hard to play defense as well as trying to smash the birdie hard and low to win the points, then it is as rigorous as racket ball or more than tennis.
Reference 1 shows some interesting statistics.
If you like competitive badminton, it will benefit your health! (cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and of course your mind)
You will increase your flexibility because of the movement, stretches, bending and jumping. The racket and birdies don't cost that much. Of course you can play single or double. It is not a contact sport, so you really socialize with other players or teammate during, before and after the games. It is not uncommon for friends or families to get together after school or work playing friendly competitive badminton in many Asian countries and now also in Europe.

ROFL. I live in Belgium where Badminton is pretty much a national sport. It doesn't make you more of man. It doesn't improve your cariovascular level. And you certainly can't fend off an attacker with a badminton racket.
Pretty much, this "sport" adds zero value to life as we know it. Until top badminton players start getting all the chicks and multi-million dollar contracts, that is.

Badminon is fun to play because it's a team sport.
