You don't get to advertise all the good that your religion does without first scrupulously subtracting all the harm it does and considering seriously the question of whether some other religion, or no religion at all, does better.

Daniel C. Dennett
About This Quote

When religion is considered, religion should be a benefit to a person’s life. Religious people should not always advertise the good their religion does in order to get more people in their religion. If a religion is harming someone then it is not worth being in that religion.
