Is Religion Dangerous? by Keith Ward

Many commentators today claim that religion is dangerous and harmful. Inddressing this question, Keith Ward begins by defining what religionctually is and how most human harm has been caused. He then looks at whyeople say that religion is dangerous, focusing particularly on religiousars and conflicts and on specific attacks on religion, such as the claimshat God is wrathful, that religion is intolerant, that religious morality isrimitive and cruel. Keith Ward argues that religion produces great good -or example, in terms of hospitals, the abolition of slavery, great art andusic, moral heroism, and philosophy and science. Religion, he concludes, ishe best rational basis for morality.
