The meaning of life is what you make it. I don't need God to give me purpose.
I was raised catholic and this is a valid point. The issue is it's a community gathered around harmful ideas.
As for the rest, the placebo effect is scientifically proven to work. I have absolutely no doubt that believing in a higher power helps you beat addiction, etc. I don't think that justifies the harm organized religion has caused, particularly recently. Does God want to force 10 year olds to give birth? Because that's what's happening in his name.
