I see plenty of harm, mainly because most religions come as a package. There's weird harmless stuff such as hurt feelings about depicting Mohammed, particular dietary practices, fasting, graven idols. And the obvious answer for that is "If you want to believe weird shit, go ahead". But that's the thin end of the wedge for lots of really insidious nasty behavior like oppressing women or other religons, flogging, FGM, MGM, honour killings, forced marriage, brainwashing, suicide bombers, stonings, stabbing people who criticise you (or stalking them and suing them into oblivion), beating up gay people. You can't preach respect while that sort of nasty intolerant stuff is going on, and "It's our culture" doesn't hold any weight with me. Violence and oppression are violence and oppression, whether you have a religious excuse or not.
