Yeah recent times I meant the last century or so. If that was the worst religion did, we'd be alright. Think of how organized religion has controlled people over the last 2000 years. The corruptness of the hierarchy in the Middle Ages. Think of the inquisition, or the Muslim conquering of North Africa and the Middle East. Organized religion has done a lot of good, but it's also done a lot of very bad.
