As you said, there are some positive things, but there are some bad things about religions such as Judaism and Islam, which involve sexually maul baby boys.   Here is the problem with religion. For every belief that someone has, there is some reason for it. It may be a rational reason, or it may be an irrational grounds. In principle, if you know the cause of the belief of someone you can reason with them.   By bringing religion into the game, everything changes. You can not reason with a Muslim or a Jew that circumcision has no medical purpose, and reduces sexual pleasure and thus a violation of human rights. Not without addressing the fact that its rediculus Allah or Yahweh commanded a. (Bastards.)   Can not argue with a creationist about how the earth is actually billions of years, and all the evidence shows conclusively that they share a common ancestor with chimpanzees. Not without addressing the accuracy of the spelling, or their interpretation of Scripture.   The inability to make decisions based on evidence alone, or in reason alone is why religion is poison for the mind. If the brain is a computer, religion is like a virus. Religion can be potentially more harmful than helpful.
