Anyone who places religion before humanity is a potential danger.

What a simple question, but difficult to answer....well, lets see....it all depends....there are soo many different beliefs in this world...and only one is probably correct...is there a God? are there angels? what about prophets? is he true? is he not? etc..etc...so many questions and so many possible answers....and what you end up believing in...can affect the fact if religion is harmful or not...there are some religions that are harmful...that require you to do harmful things....then there are those religions which you interpret to be harmful....but they really aren't.....I would say that no religion's teachings are harmful...its just the people...they interpret the teachings to be harmful....and then, if your religion is in minority...then other religions of majority...can harm you....but it depends on the type of faith you have.......this can get to be really confusing..so I'll stop my answer here...

When it's placed ahead of logic, which is most of the time, yes. It's deadly when it's used to judge, condemn, control, or abuse, which is also most of the time. In my opinion, all organized religion should be taken with a grain of salt.

Historically yes. Currently yes.

A religion is like a drug. Better stay away from it, otherwise you'll get addicted to it.

Not all religions are equal.

Not any more than anything else that is placed above peace and understanding.

It's not only harmful, it's lethal.

It is the most fierce enemy of reason and logic.

Yes, very. It should be done away with.
