Good done for some community/charity/etc. in the name of religion, almost certainly. And I don't doubt the reported psychological benefits for addicts, impoverished, and other such downtrodden types. Yet, religion in general tends to inspire a certain selflessness, as a cost of this mental-stability. I have to consider: would improving solely my mental health, be worth the time, effort and resources that I would only find reason to expend (in service of some "good that is done in the name of [my] religion") if I were to become religious? And while I might have thought differently last month, when I was a futureless undergraduate student ... I'm now fairly certain that the answer is "no". Analogously: why should I purchase a diamond-covered crutch, when I already have four good limbs? So while I don't necessarily criticize the religious - there indubitably exist people who are better off by being that way - I do criticize religion itself.
