1. Music and Art (I'm sure among the billions of deaths throughout the years were plenty of artists) that's not an arguement against religion tho

2. Goodwill/Donations (People aren't naturally shitty. They don't need a god to do that)  people by nature are actually really bad

3. Food regulations (that sounds kinda interesting, can you link me a source on that? I wants to read) u know how islam/judasim can't eat pork? it's because they didn't have sanitation and pigs were really unhealthy so their gods told them they were bad

4. Turned a lot of people towards scientific progress (When) all of science up until 9-11, actually

5. Abolished Slavery (the Bible commends slavery in Leviticus 25: 44-46 and Titus 2:9, among others) this kind of slavery wasn't tied to a particular race, it was a way of working off debt, and they had to let you go in maxiumum 7 years anyways even if you didn't repay it

6. Human Rights (like the right to marriage, which religion held back for centuries for gay couples?) black rights, women's rights. gay rights are against most major religions, because they're spiritually dysfunctional and these marriages end up falling apart pretty quickly

7. Creativity ​​​​​​​(Again, plenty of artists or musicians were probably killed along with the billions of other people killed because of religion) ​​​​​​​well my point was according to christianity, god gave us our human talents and that included creating things, people dying was due to competing religions and not  condoned by the religion if they were all the same religion

yes, the catholic church was bad, but they were corrupt when they had power and lost sight of God the points that you had were the extreme groups that emerged in the name of said religion and actually had very little to do with the core beliefs of them
