Just because I have respect for that Christian doesn’t mean I agree with him. I don’t judge people what they believe, but I certainly judge them for how they act, and it just so happens that the people who act the worst I’ve seen are also those who claim to be justified because of their religion.
Good people can be good in spite of their religion, so I can’t say that all religious people are bad, but bad people can be so much worse when they have their religion to fall back on, so I can certainly say that religion is currently harming society.
