Has Religion Made Useful Contributions to Civilization?

"Religion prevents our children from having a rational education; religion prevents us from removing the fundamental causes of war; religion prevents us from teaching the ethic of scientific co-operation in place of the old fierce doctrines of sin and punishment.

It is possible that mankind is on the threshold of a golden age; but, if so, it will be necessary first to slay the dragon that guards the door, and this dragon is religion."

-Bertrand Russell from Has Religion Made Useful Contributions to Civilization? (1930)

From my side the answer is a big NO.

but let the seniors/juniors put their best arguments.
