[Becca-G]

While you are in no way obligated to think of religion in a positive light, there are some benefits to religion that make it difficult (at least for me) to label it completely negative. The text of (at least most) religions promotes love, and while there are those who do terrible things in the name of religion, there are also wonderful people who do good things in the name of religion. For instance, a large amount of charity organizations are run by religious groups. Also, religion promotes a feeling of community and allows people to feel safer when confronted with the idea of death. Whether or not that religion is right in their belief in the afterlife, it seems to me that anything that makes an elderly person feel better before they die isn’t that bad.
