Answers:
Religion is not the culprit of human suffering. People give religion a bad name because history is filled with power hungry people manipulating mass with religion.
Religion is for individuals, not for a society.
Somehow some people think "religion" is the best thing to hide behind when they are murdering innocent people.
religion and politics are the greatest enemy of mankind
society needs to put religion in its place (near the bottom of the list of stuff we need to worry about)
The Good...

-religion makes people more moral by threatening them with hell and damnation it serves as a check on the morality of society

-it also provides for a community where people can bond and worship the same God and be part of a group

-helps lead people who are living a bad life to repent and follow the word of God so that they can become good people and stray way from evil doing or bad infleunces...

-provides hope for humanity, that if you have faith and repent you can ind redemption

-helps by giving food and clothes to people who are needy and even shelter

-gives advice and counsel to those in need of someone to talk to or guidance

The bad...

excludes those who don't follow the church word by word... ei. (homosexuals)

-creates intolerance of other religions which lead to war, violence and hate

-makes you think that you can commit whatever crime you want and that if you repent then you can still go to heaven

-wants to control your life and kill individualism and free will
reference for morality.
