Not only is science corrosive to religion, but religion is also corrosive to science. It teaches people to be satisfied with trivial super natural not explanations and blind them to wonderful real explanations that we have within our grasp. it teaches to accept authority, revelation and faith instead of always insisting of evidence.

I really wish everyone who has any interest in gaining knowledge, whether you're atheist or not, would watch this clip. It explains and answers a lot of questions about why religion is harmful in today's society and the arguments that religion tries to bring up against evolution.
