Religion itself is not a threat, not in my view at least. Religion becomes dangerous, and capable of vast evil and destruction, when it descends into blindfolded dogma and becomes just another political control mechanism; one based primarily on fear and uncritical, unconditional obedience at all costs. Believing in a creator figure does no harm in itself. The belief that this figure revealed all the secrets or existence and the universe exclusively to illiterate Bronze Age manual laborers in the middle east, on the other hand, has been the driving force behind all manner of human sickness and depravity for countless centuries and into the present day.
