Dave, the most open, tolerant and successful society in the world was started by people with a deep sense of religious connection, America. The evidence that believing in God, equates to being dangerous, rigid and intolerant is dubious at best. Some of the most intolerant people in the world, profess a naturalistic non-diety connection to the planet.

Sure, evil people have used religion as a convenient stepping stone to inflict atrocities on others.

However, I would say those societies which have governmentally banned the expression of religion, have been far more efficient and effective at creating human misery and intolerance then those who have not.
