Is religion now a force for good or evil within western society?

I think that religion definitely creates an "us" and a "them". By uniting one group of people with the same values it creates a group that doesn't have those values. Many people place to much worth on whether or not you are the same as them and with what word you define your belief with. In actuality, most religions hold the same morals and values in high esteem, but they also say that if someone belongs to a different religion, they are the enemy.
