I think the people who use religion to justify their wrong doings, unrighteous judgment, and hatred is hurting us as a society

No. I think it can hurt people, but religion as a whole isn’t inherently bad like how this question is asking

It def hurts women, girls, and queer ppl - a lot of harmful rhetoric that’s hard to undo

It’s not religion it’s the practitioners of it that don’t follow their own beliefs.

Are you talking about the people who say they wouldn’t have morals without religion or something else?

Yes. I’m not religious but a lot of people are inherently bad and religion is something that keeps them in line by kind of creating a moral compass for them or scaring them into behaving.
