While most people believe religion is "good" and makes people lead more moral and altruistic lives, religion also has many negative effects on society. Religious differences are the predominate motivators of wars. It is blind faith that makes ppl do crazy shit like martyrdom.
Richard Dawkins did a whole documentary thing called "Root of All Evil" which explains, way better than I can, about the negative effects of religion. You can find it on YouTube.
"Without [religion], you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, it takes religion."
-Steven Weinberg
