Religion can be abused for control, power, wealth, sex, and other personal benefits. Christianity is no exception. Perhaps it is a little more easily abused than others, but I can't say for sue. I once thought "The Scarlet Letter" was a true description of all Christians and Christianity. I wanted nothing to do with any oyf it. My parents were agnostic and anti-Christian, and the last thing I ever expected to be was a Christian. I lucked into a church that had an abundance of warm, affectionate people who didn't feel any need to try to convert me, just made me welcome. Eventually I opened up to explore, although I still was sure it was bad and I'd never become one of them. I was loved in. Accepted.

Some churches and individual Christians are radically accepting and do a lot of good for their whole community. The benefits of organized religiona that it has a lot of power to do good too. Hospitals, colleges, etc
