The good usually balances the bad in religion. I think that religion engenders an incredible amount of hate in the world, but I don't think getting rid of religions is going to get rid of the hate. People will just find other things to discriminate and hate over.
I guess I can see the convenience of keeping an enemy you know versus one that might come out of the blue and make everything worse -- I still don't like it, albeit necessary or not.

This is a radically different view of Christianity than "rollover points. "
