In the words of Blaise Pascal, mathematician and Catholic, "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction."

Or should we concede that overall, it has been a source for good, giving followers purpose, while encouraging morality and ethical behavior?For: Matthew Chapman For: A.C. Grayling
