This is a very narrow viewpoint in my opinion. I’m not denying religion has caused harm, but a large portion of people have found it to be a means to do good (and I mean legit good that almost everyone can agree on, things like foodbanks, stopping addictions and so on)
That’s ridiculous, secular people do lots of good all the time. In fact, religious people have a far greater chance of doing harm, because they sometimes believe in things like homophobia, misogynism, genital mutilation etc. If people didn’t have religion to back up these evil ideas then we’d see less of them.

Any culture can be harmful and secular people can and often do good.
I’m not a Catholic, so I don’t consider bad deeds to be ok so ling as you do a few good.
