Originally, religion was used to scare people into doing the right thing. It was a very good thing for a while. Then, it was used as a way to control people and gain power. People manipulated religion. This progressed and now it has killed millions of people and caused a lot of pain.
Basically, religion is a good foundation that has been twisted to be very very bad. If you use it right, to keep hope and do good, then go for it. But never discriminate another religion or choose religion over your own values.
Why should we have to believe in god to accomplish anything?
