It seems that current events are close to us and not being able to get them out of my mind, I thought I would ask a question regarding when is religion healthy and when is it detrimental?
The obvious example of the Tuesday is a bit of a strawman. While religion can certainly be the root of such acts, it is often the impetus to amazing acts of humanity such as in the Civil Rights Movement and Abolition. Bill Moyer has often discusses this subject and I think it is fitting here.
What are the elements of religion that are beneficial and good, and when does it become dangerous or unhealthy?

Religion is neither good nor bad.
Only people can be good or bad ... and that's subject to
societal norms.
