Religions do the world more bad than good

For Round 3 I shall respond to my opponent's objections and refutations.RebuttalsR1) HomosexualityMost Christians today believe that as Christ returned, the Mosaic Law was fulfilled and no longer needed, so many of the laws of the time are much different now than they were then. The verses can be interpreted many different ways and are disputed based on varying translations, but to conclude that hate towards homosexuals have arisen mostly because of religion is indeed false. The misinterpretation of something is the fault of the interpreter, not the religion. If I were to interpret Darwin's theory of evolution as justification for eradicating the weak humans in order to preserve the strong ones (the Nazis relied on this belief during the Holocaust), would that be Darwin's fault or my own? Clearly it would be my own and the fault of extreme thinking.R2) Religious WarsThis argument is largely exaggerated as it ignores other motives for wars and focuses on religion alone. The clash between the Sunnis and Shia is deeply rooted contention of possession of land and socioeconomic disputes. The fight is between one group that is in league with the secular despot Saddam Hussein who ruled Iraq for a quarter century and another group, the Shiite majority, that is currently in power. These conflicts have very little to do with religion and can be applied to nearly every major dispute existent today. Although there are some Islamic radicals, it is mostly the fault of extremism, not religion, that has fueled these regimes.There is no warrant for considering the Crusades a world crime of any sort. The Christians fought to protect and defend Europe from Muslim rule, for if they hadn't then all of Europe would have likely been conquered as part of the Islamic Empire. As European Christians, they could not allow this invasion of sorts to happen, so it was in the best of their interests to defend their homes and their families from what they genuinely believed to be a threat. Furthermore, religion was not intended to invoke war. Christ's teachings are those of a peacemaker and opposed to violence and persecution. It does not promote conflict of any sort, which shows that those who have committed violence in the name of Christianity were in the wrong. The spirit of this religion is to "judge not that you may be not judged"."one can do charity without religion, and many religion stitutions in Africa for example try not only helping them but imposing their faith upon them, so in this case, not charity, just interest."Many charities of today have come into existence because of religion and wouldn't have helped millions of people without religious convictions towards helping the poor. It is because of teachings from spiritual leaders that have enabled a charitable attidue to take place among so many. Obviously charities don't have to be fueled by religion, but many have and the world has benefitted immensely because of it."there are just as many people not inspired by religion (Freud, Benjamin Franklin, Einstein (pantheist), Napoleon)"So? This does not subtract from the fact that religion has inspired a huge amount of scientists, philosophers, astronomers, etc to do what they did to help us reach where we are today with the knowledge and technology that we possess. Had it not been for religion, we could still be in the medieval age."you can believe in a god or heaven and not in religion. Also, it doesn't make sense that all these horrible laws and orders and the image of hell tranquilizes people."Having spiritual and religious beliefs yet not belonging to an organized religion has no relevancer whatsoever to this debate. One can argue that because "religion" is often defined as a system of beliefs in the supernatural, people who don't attend congregations can still be considered part of a religion. The concept of hell may not have a positive effect on everyone, but the idea of heaven often prompts people to be morally virtuous and do good deeds in order to be seen as one who is willing to do what one can in order to make it to heaven.Pro has dropped my argument on moral progress, so I will extend it. I have properly refuted all of my opponent's arguments.
