"fuck all to do with religion" - really? Come on.

"despotic and dictatorial control" seems to go hand in hand with religions quite well.

This.

Theory: religion nice
Practice: really, really helps the wingnuts/powermad, worsens (though not causes) ethnic conflicts, segregates people (faith schools, Northern Ireland esp).

Christopher Hitchens would disagree. The theory of being overseen for the whole of your life by a judgemental god who is indifferent to your earthly suffering and then cast into hell or raised up to heaven in order to to praise him for all eternity isn't really "nice".
