"I think religion is harmful and, more importantly, utterly incorrect in its depiction of the stories of life. As a product of human imagination, I think religion must reflect human beings' inhumanity, ambition, drive, power hunger, ethnic…"

Let me go over the over all destruction. According to research, math and historians, if medieval Rome didn't adopt christianity, the internet and other futuristic inventions could have been invented by the ~1400's!
