But it reminds me of the famous quote from Bertrand Russell

My own view on religion is that of Lucretius. I regard it as a disease born of fear and as a source of untold misery to the human race. I cannot, however, deny that it has made some contributions to civilization.

These two services I am prepared to acknowledge, but I do not know of any others.

(Bertrand Russell / 1872-1970 / Has Religion Made Useful Contributions to Civilization? / 1930)
