No, because then there would be little if no hope in the world. And it gives you something to live for.

Religion is not the problem in itself. The problem arises when the people in charge begin to use the faith of others to motivate them towards the leader's goals. Wars are fought for a number of reasons; security, resources, to change to status quo... Some may be justifiable, but for the ones that aren't, the way to elicit unquestioned loyalty from one's followers is to tie the cause in with religion, or with the new religion of nationalism. In conclusion, blind loyalty to any cause, state, or ideology should be avoided.
Think for yourself.Question authority.

I am not religious, but I don't see religion in general being bad. It is when some religious sects insist that their theology AND ONLY THEIR'S is correct that the trouble begins. If sects had a live-and-let-live approach and assume God or whoever will sort it out in the end (he is supposed to be omniscient and omnipetent, isn't he?), the world would be a more peaceful place.

what region would you do with out? Or is it religion? Then we would all be better if we were just spiritual instead of religious. Too many deaths for not praying to the "right" invisible man

Because in every one of them there are two classes of people, those who rule and those who follow. Those who rule must prove themselves right to those who follow (obey). Disobedience is intolerable to them and children are most likely to disobey. When the children become adults, disobedience becomes intolerable to them. Intuitively we know that the future can not resemble the past, but we are too fearful to accept that.
The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative.
