Religion's good and harmful effects on society(and for the same token atheism) are simply no more or less significant than issues such as organized crime, drugs, pornography, gambling, etc etc.

i don't see how you can compare "religion's good and harmful effects" with "organized crime, drugs, pornography, gambling." religion's effects are very relevant to those issues as well.

there aren't very many social "issues" that aren't affected by religion in some way.
