The good:

Religion and spiritual practices generally have a positive effect on one’s physical, emotional and neurological health.

The bad:

But when God is viewed as dispassionate, vengeful and unforgiving, this can have deleterious effects on one’s physical and mental health.

The ugly:

What is truly frightening is the fact that 1% translates into 3 million potentially violent citizens in our country alone. And this certainly plays out on the global stage, as beliefs conflict and terrorism fosters fear, hatred and ultimately violence.
