47. Religion pretty much makes everything worse..

I'm not saying there's no charity associated with religious groups because I've seen some do really good things. Two of our local churches run no questions asked food banks and rent assistance and I've supported those efforts.
Catholic Charities is a good organization that I've contributed to because of their work with immigrants and migrants at he border but when you consider the wealth of the Catholic Church, well, they could do so much more.

But for the most part, religion doesn't do what they claim to do, and, in my opinion, make most situations worse.
