Worse than the government. Religion is an unnecessary organization of people with a unanimous belief on a fictional celestial being living in the sky. It is an organization disguised to conduct moral standard but in reality, it is a money grubbing, mind controlling bastards who can't understand science.
"Religion is bullshit" - George Carlin
Teacher: Class, does anyone knows why God forbid Adam and Eve from eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge?
Students: So, that sin won't spread to the people
Teacher: No! It's because God feared that one day, people might discover that He actually doesn't exist

One of the most idiotic inventions known to man. The whole reason why religion was created in the first place was to try to explain the unexplainable or the unknown mainly due to what science couldn't explain at the time to make people feel more at ease when faced with the unanswerable. There are lots of people who think if it can't be explained then some higher power, force or being must have had to have done/did it and will take that as fact with hardly any or no evidence at all. The worst thing religion has done to mankind was cause religious wars. Countless of lives has been lost for something that most likely doesn't exist, is fictional and only real based on what the people of the religion say is true because they say it is with hardly any scientific evidence.
Priest: "How was the universe created?"
Scientist: "I don't know because we as humans don't possess the technology yet to come up with a correct answer to explain why and how the universe was created"
Priest: "of course science isn't going to figure out that question. you try to take something that can't be figured out scientifically only by religion and try to scientifically figure it out?"
Scientist: "well if it doesn't adhere to the laws of nature then it can't happen and doesn't exist. So how do you explain how the universe was created if you say science can't answer the question?"
Priest: "God created it."
Scientist: "Prove it!"

Something people decide to believe in not because they actually believe in it, but because the fear of going to hell.
guy1: I don't believe in god because it can never be prooven, and it's just a ridiculous story.
guy2: you're going to hell, but yeah its a ridiculous story in my opinion too. That is why I have a religion, so i will go to Heaven.

Religion is that something sadly tears the world apart. If it weren't for religion, world war two wouldn't have happened. There wouldn't such racism (mostly against gays). and many more unforunate events happened because of religion.

Boy: What about the dinosaurs?
Minister: God smitten them with the back of his hand because they didn't believe in this religion.

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.
