Wacky Religions?

Often I come across articles and essays written by very learned people who wish to take Religion to task for being dangerous and inimical to human well-being. In fact, some wax so eloquently that - for all the world - you would think that they had tackled Old Man Religion McBug-a-Boo who was raving and flailing about and now these writers were sitting on his chest, calling for the EMS guys to come with a straight-waistcoat (or, straight-jacket) and deliver this insane old geezer to the local mental hospital.

However, I think humanity can act quite insane with or without Religion. If Religion seems beyond the fringe, I am quite sure that if you look around, you will find the tell-tale traces of human activity, full of sound and fury.
