Well, I think religion can be useful also, just if you don't get addicted. Food is good for us, but if we get addicted, it becomes unhealthy.
When Jesus came the first time, religious people were like this. They try to find energy in the old teachings, but the life has gone from them. They end up doing harm for themselves and others. Condemning homosexual people for example, is just sick. If people really believed in God, they would let him judge, and they would stay out of his way because they would understand that their wisdom is not complete to judge anyone. If Jesus came to earth today, he would teach ordinary people, not religious fanatics, just as he did the first time he was here. Hatred blinds.
