I feel like a lot of people are bashing on religion so I just want to point out that religion actually instills some very positive values in people. And why does religion have to contradict science anyway? I personally don't take the stories in the bible literally and I don't see why anyone would. Historically religion gets a bad rep and really it's just that before science and education were widespread religion was just a tool used to control populations. People will always look for an easy means of controlling others. It's something people have always done and will continue to go on doing. Religion itself isn't bad because of how people have used it. Christianity talks about forgiveness, love and peace.
Are people "brainwashed" for choosing religion over science?
