A long time ago people wanted answers as to why and how they have came to be. Science was not around very much and was not advanced at the time to answer any questions at all. So man-kind went ahead and made up many crazy stories and then implemented them into the world.
The world began to fall into a plethora of wars and tyrannical regimes all based around stories made up by man-kind i.e. Religion
In this day in age science is now so very advanced today that it clearly shows facts and real logical ideas as to how life was created. Basically disproving any sort of religion and the bible itself.
However the problem being is that religion was forced upon human kind and so ingrained into many cultures around the world for hundreds of years that people don't want to let go. Ignoring the real facts, and being afraid of the truth, the majority of human kind sadly clings to the idea of religion. This results in murder, wars, violence, racism, extreme ignorance, and sexism. Religion can be in-fact linked to most of today's problems.

(Simple argument, a SMALL example representing the REAL violence and hardships that religion can create.)
Jahova's witness: Jesus was NOT god, he is the son of god!
Christian: He is a part of god, therefore that makes him GOD!
This example proves religion causes clashes between other religions, which can result in simple small arguments. Unlike the ladder given above, some clashes can result in violence, and some can even result in large wars.

1. A beautiful establishment that celebrates the gifts of everyday life, and the lives of others.
2. The most detrimental/harmful belief system every created (no pun intended) that is responsible for the most consistent acts of violence, bigotry, hate, years of insurmountable differences, witch burnings, the degrading of women, child abuse, 9/11, political and social exploitation, tithes, corruption, extortion, genocide, suicide, Sarah Palin, pedophilia, bestiality, self mutilation, self deprivation....................Sarah Palin, psychological torture, physical torture, fasting, annihilation, and eventually the complete decay of society as we know it.

socially accepted insanity, followed by holy wars, terrorism, illogical beliefs, coincidental good news coined as "miracles", and random doorbell rings from jehovah's witness

A set of beliefs that many hold that comes in different forms. Many have similar values but different beliefs. Some believe that Jesus was the Messiah who saves your souls (Christians). Others believe you work off your bad deeds with good deeds, through reincarnation (Karma, held by the Hindus). Some believe that holding to five pillars of living will lead to Heaven (Islam). Note that none of those five pillars include murdering non-Muslims.
Religion may or may not be true; some believe that all are true, others that all are false. While extremists in the religious systems and outside exist, most do not follow their teachings correctly, only using religion as an excuse to inflict their own ideas and power over people.
Atheism is a faith as well, to some degree; the system is that you believe in your own morals, which you derive from experience and science. The belief that life comes from non-life and that something comes from nothing (the Big-Bang) is often viewed as unlikely as religious miracles (The Virgin Birth or the Ascention of Mohammed).

Atheism has killed dozens of millions of people in history. Christianity has killed a few million. Islam has killed a few million. Hinduism a couple million.
All religion has blood on its hands, but their values are all against unjust war and political murder. All value human life, all have a golden rule. However, when it comes to salvation, there could not be a more stark contrast between the major faiths of the world, even those who have the same roots and background.

Religion is a lie that is taught to those who are to stupid to understand science and basic common sense. However, you completely entitled to believe in god just as long as you know that you are wrong.

Person A: I’m in a religion. I belong to Christianity.
Person B: really? What do you do?
Person A: I eat the “body” of a celestial being and drink his “blood” as well.
