There are some forms of religion that are bad, just as there's bad cooking or bad art or bad sex, you have bad religion too.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Religion can be both good and bad - it is spirituality that counts.
The problem is that religion tends to give people bad reasons to be good.
If your religion doesn't teach you the difference between good and evil, your religion is worse than useless.
Any simple claim that you need religion to be good is flat wrong.
When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.
Bad Religion's tradition has always been to try and provoke people but hopefully lead them to a better sense of who they are and what they stand for. That's supposed to make them feel better.
I have increasingly, over the years, felt that religion today does our civilization more harm than good.
All outward forms of religion are almost useless, and are the causes of endless strife. Believe there is a great power silently working all things for good, behave yourself and never mind the rest.
Bad religion is arrogant, self-righteous, dogmatic and intolerant. And so is bad science. But unlike religious fundamentalists, scientific fundamentalists do not realize that their opinions are based on faith. They think they know the truth.
Every religion is good that teaches man to be good; and I know of none that instructs him to be bad.
