Is belief in Heaven the really dangerous thing about religion?

It's why people are willing to blow themselves up in the name of God, after all.

I can't argue with that one.

Belief in heaven isn't dangerous, just a heaven where all 'sins' are erased. That doesn't happen.

Belief in a god who "approves" of violence is much more dangerous. It causes too many to override their humanity in the name of their god.
