In most ways, I agree with you. However religion, in many instances has been a force for good, but I tend to think that the bad out weighs the good.
People tend to take the spoken/written word too litterally sometimes, instead of looking for the deeper meaning and intent.
My personal belief, even though I have been baptized a Catholic, is that when you die, you die. There is no after life. You're just a corpse rotting in the ground .... unless you've been turned into a vampire of course.
So the answer to my own question is NO.
