Corrolation isn't causation of course but this does surely call for comment from the godly amongst us?

I am sure you and whoever you quoted are in the very least a little intelligent and I won't attack your moral or character backgrounds. But almost ALL religion preaches against what you say are bi-products of a religious society. I would love to see the unbiased statistics. To say this is true is simply absurd.

Lets take a look at the Soviet Union. Stalin alone had about 20 million people killed, many of which were simply due to "religious fervor".

China today is officially Athiest and they are not moral at all. Many religious people there are persecuted for trying and attending their faith's houses of worship.

Religion will only hurt society if witch hunts against others happen. Athiesm will almost definitely hurt. With no moral need to keep society moral and just, it is only logical that those societies will decay and die. Simple as that.
