I think we would be better off without religions based in and on a theology. Most, if not all, the disagreements I have with religions is there basis in unfounded beliefs which are not in anyway related to ethics. I do think that religion may be a good foundation for ethics since they are not rooted in truth. Certainly, I think trying to found ethics on science or logic instead of religion has the potential to be worse as this can easily give a false impression of certainty where none exists.
