How can religion be a good thing when it has been scientifically proven that it makes children under some religion (even if it's unorganized)
1. mean spirited?
2. divisive?
3. more likely to shove things down people's throats?
4. disrespect other views and be closed minded?
That is what I don't understand nowadays. 

 You can't scientifically prove religion is bad... Some religions are better than others.
