I disagree about religion, I think the good apples might be the exceptions in any ideology whose core tenants are 1. feelings over thoughts and 2. fear of punishment as basis of morality.

So every Muslim wants to murder the infidels and every Christian wants to bomb abortion clinics?

You're letting a vocal minority taint your view of an entire demographic.

I didn't say how bad, exactly, just that they're almost all a net negative. You know, people who give more to the church than to charity, people who vote for autocrats, people who drill for oil and argue online about climate change. And some of them do indeed bomb abortion clinics and murder infidels, a small minority, but the average evangelical isn't that far off from that ledge of no return.

The good ones are the ones who set up well regulated mobile soup and bread kitchens to feed the poor. They're the ones who open shelters and secure the building to take people in during storms. They're the ones who promote education despite contradictions with their beliefs. Those are few and far between.
