Ep. 406: Is Religion Hurting People?

Religion is one of the oldest human practices, but it might be time to ask the question of whether or not it causes more harm than good. We’re not religious, so take it all with a grain of salt, but for as much good as religion brings to individuals, it seems to come with a lot of hate and violence packed in. Of course, not every person who practices a religion is hurting others, but is the institution itself to blame?
