NO tarot cards are not bad!
Unfortunately, a lot of people do think that they are "tools of the devil" or the "gateway to hell". I think people believe these things because they are afraid of something they can't explain. It's easier say something is bad or evil, rather than admit that it defies rational explanation.
The actual cards are really just pieces of paper with symbols on them. You deal with other symbols all the time, and they are not bad, so why should the tarot cards be any different? The only way the tarot cards will work is if a person uses his or her intuitiive abilities to read the cards. The fact is, a gifted reader could do the same thing with a regular deck of playing cards. It's not the cards that have the "magic", it's the person.
Personally, I believe that these intuitive abilities are a gift from God, so they can't be bad. I know people disagree with me, but I am very attuned to my abilities and I am NOT an evil person. (Really... I'm just a regular mom and preschool teacher... I'm not a devil worshiper!!!)

BEWARE!
These are the original Egyptian Tarot cards from which so many other Tarot decks derived.

They are sacred and we are not allowed to ask any unserious question(like "how will be the weather tomorrow", "am I beautiful or not", yes-no questions,etc.); the question must be serious(for example "why don't I get a job yet?", "what can I do to solve my family problem?","why I still can't find my soulmate",etc.). Also they must be sanctified before use, not letting others touch them(they'll lose accuracy since they will be charged with your energy), make some prayers before asking the Tarot, asking our Inner Father(the Divine within us to answer our question through the cards- the cards don't give an answer on their own, it's our inner Being that gives the answer through them), we must cense them before asking, sitting in a protective circle and so on.
Tarot cards are very attacked by Demons that is why we need to be careful not to use Tarot cards that you can find at any store, that are just derived from the originals and need to perform some protection stuff before using them. Cards being attacked by Demons=> attacking us too, our minds of course(I remember 2 dreams where one made incantations to my mind and I had to burn the cards).

that all depends on who you are asking. to many christians they are considered paganistic while to many other religions they are a normal practice. also one might question what you are intending to derive from their use. many would agree that using them "just for fun" is ok. yet there are many people all over the world who plan their entire lives and decisions based on a tarot reading or a palm reading or a horoscope. the key is to listen to your own intuition. just as i believe there are many true practitioners out there, there are also a lot of frauds who simply want your money and do not have your best interests at heart. you must decide what is good for you.

No, not at all. They can even be used as a tool for spiritual development.
Spirituality is born from a personal occurrence with a divine, psychic or mystical experience of one form or another which inevitably connects a person to All that Is/God/Goddess/Allah/Great Spirit /whatever you want to call it.
Religion is second hand opinion of someone else’s divine experience. I think you will find that religions, and especially fanatical religions, tend to separate and divide people, while spirituality brings people together.
Thank God that Spirituality is on the increase!

Well it depends on your beliefs I guess, some religous people think it's bad because it's a "gateway" to the unknown realms that you can let evil spirits in through... Some people think they are a wonderful source of information and some people just think it's entertainment, so you make the call... I personally don't think they are bad.

No, they're only used for some fortune telling as far as I've heard
