Most religions hurt more than help .We need an official registry for religious offenders.

The key work is Christianity. Some of the answers were about "religion". There are a lot of religious people that miss the mark. You can be religious about something and it not be right or good. The meaning of Christian is little Christ. If we are true Christians and try to be Christ like we can and will help others. I find a lot of comfort in being a Christian and knowing that God/Jesus is there for me at all times.

No. Neither Christianity nor any other major religion. The harm comes from people who misuse religion to further their fanaticism or lust for power or money.
A lot of people today want to blame "religion" as though it were some disembodied force "out there" (which is conceding its validity even while trying to discredit it, if you think about it). But a religion is a set of ideas and rituals. Its what people choose to do withthose ideas that makes them "good" or "bad."
Attempting to blame "religion"--Christianity or any other--is simply abdicating our responsibility as human beings to be accoutable for our actions. And demonstrably false, in any case. So-called "atheist" ideologies, like the Soviet Union, etc. have perpetrated worse horrors than have ever been carried out in the name of religion.

It isn't Christianity or religion that hurts people; it is the people who preach the religion. Christianity in and of itself is not the criminal, it is some people who choose to interpret the religion to suit their own beliefs...What's so ironic, is God Himself does not judge and demand the way these zealots do and I doubt very much He approves.
The differences between Catholicism and Episcopalian alone denotes the tremendous disparity between the religions and how one is loving and inviting and the other cold and unforgiving.

I don't belong to any religion or go to church, but I think religions get misused just like many other things that are inherently good. Airplanes that can deliver emergency aid quickly are also used to deliver bombs to targets. Medicine that could save and enhance life is being used more and more to destroy life. Rockets that could be used to carry us to other planets or moons prop up weapons we can't afford to use.
So, I ask you, are you talking about religions that preach the golden rule, love, faithfulness to spouses, "thou shalt not kill". .. or are you really talking about people who use religion, including Christianity, as a smoke screen to cover their misdeeds?

i am of no religious affiliation but I can say that any organized religion helps more people than it hurts. It is the single person that chooses to help or hurt, but I dont know of any one person who wants to kill in the name of religion alone, usually their are other factors that go into "hurting" someone other than religion...

The Christianity I know is people who volunteer their time, money and effort to help victims of hurricanes, tragedies; assist the homeless, needy and sick.
Don't paint your picture of Christians based on what the mass media wants you to believe, but look into it more and see how God works through Christians and calls them to be servants of others.

I think 'vcxzzxcv' is right, it's always some of these unhappy nonbelievers that are droning on and on about how bad Christians are and spewing constant negativity. Christians are not the problem, you are.

No i don't think it hurts more people. A lot of people find peace and happiness within Christianity and you shouldn't take that away from them.

Christianity hurts nobody and helps everyone.
People that claim to be Christians and people that don't or won't understand Christianity do more harm than anything else.
Read your Bible, decide for yourself.
