You know, I said that on a whim, but on second thought I am. I would rather not argue with people I think are cool, but in my view, religion, as an institution, proliferates and helps perpetuate hatred. It's not the only one, and it's often a tool for others to do that. But I'm conviced it's an outdated institution we (in general, not each specific person) would be better off casting away.
No, of course not. I agree with you on that. Ultimately how a religion is followed is a reflection of the society, but I hope you'll agree that the source materials have a lot of outdated beliefs from a time where people knew little about a lot of things and it's fertile grounds for otherwise well meaning people to do harm.
