I'll always go to bat for the idea that religion was a necessary evil. In the past, prior to telecommunications and concepts like a social democracy, you needed some way to keep the members of your primitive tribe alive and loyal to each other.
The problem is that now we no longer need it, and it's been consistently twisted into a weapon by those who crave power over anything else.
