televangelists are horrible horrible people who swindle others out of money they need and exploiting their faith.
religion in some ways, yes, helped steer a moral compass for society. but the amount of death, prejudice and ironically immoral acts done in the name of religion (all religions) is hard to overlook. in this day and age where we can see what happens in the world at any point in time, religion really just needs to be boiled down to "don't be a dick"
because of how much money churches can bring in, the hypocrisy of those who scam money out of people through faith, denying themselves treatment for illness because they might get a special spot in heaven is detrimental to themselves and their families, especially if that money could've been used to aid the family after that person passes, should they have foregone treatment.
there's some good in what religion has taught, and there's centuries of culture and wonderful architecture, sculptures and paintings that are all thanks to religion. but as usual, what casts light casts a bigger shadow.
