I am glad to see more people agreeing that you don't need Religion in order to have morals. It always scares me when people say you do... it basically translates to "If not for my Religion I wouldn't have any morals".

I wouldn't exactly call the structure of Religion evil mind you, I think a more accurate word to reflect my standpoint would be improper or illogical. I have always admitted there are those that use Religion as a force for good and are not insane or bad people. I know several, one of which led a youth group I spent my High School years in. 

But I find the general practice of regarding something as fact or gaining hope from something that cannot be proven to exist is simply flawed. Yes any evil or wrong with Religion would not necessarily be gone if Religion was gone but under the name of something else. But any good from Religion can also be found elsewhere as my OP tried to go over in detail. With that though you may ask "Then why not just leave it be? If both good and harm can be found elsewhere, why bother arguing Religion? Both will be present regardless?". And to that I'd answer, because it also simply leads a unhealthy and counter productive way to act and think. Instead of using proof, evidence and reasoning to determine your opinions and findings you allow yourself to adopt a mindset on the basis of faith (In other words, with no reason supporting it) and honestly people should always have some kind of reasoning or proof behind why they believe or think certain things.

Secondly since it can't actually be proved, it leaves a rather fragile condition to the good that comes from it. If someone gains hope from Religion, but then see's some science lecture that crushes almost any creationist argument... The hope is most likely to vanish. It's far more healthy to attach hope to a provable or concrete thing, rather than a belief that could be dismissed at any moment if you run into the right scientific proof.
