If people actually understood the bible and followed it, there would be
frequent executions by stoning to death, for all sorts of offences, major
and minor.

All we have to do is look at the Islamic societies, to understand where
religion takes you.

Also, since all these various religions stress they are the one unique way
and all others are essentially outlaws, there would be perpetual states of
war going on all over the place.

Being stupid and too cowardly to deal with reality is a formula for
disaster, not success.

So it was religion that fucked a once civilized and educated
people back into the middle ages?

They did it near the end of the middle ages, and they're doing it again.
