Organized Religion, Good or Bad?

[fantassy]

I would never criticize anyone's religious beliefs...unless it becomes destructive.

By destructive: Teaching people that commiting suicide is alright ( Jim Jones); Killing or torturing people because you consider them heretics ( The Inquisitions); Allowing people to hijack planes and fly them into buildings ( 9/11)

Don't you think organized religion can be more subtly be destructive? Isn't a religion that tells its followers that homosexuals are going to hell destructive? Destructive to the homosexuals by rejecting and ostracizing them. Destructive to our society by promoting intolerance.
