Are you saying that you think that religion has held science back so that we are scientifically ######ed by a century? Hell, a century ago we were still moving people around on our own planet by railway, we weren't even bright enough to figure out how to pack them into airplanes. Yet, without religion we'd have colonised space?
With respect to your example, that's an example of just how stupid the human race is. Religion has often been a mechanism to deliver the stupidity, but is not the cause... mankind is the cause.

Excactly what I am trying to say, just not as well as John Lennon, Imagine no religion for mankind to be stupid with.
But to be honest we would just replace it with something else I would assume.
