How do the Positives of Religion outweigh the Negatives?

Having a religion such as Christianity has had a positive effect on me. It's quite...liberating to know that their is a righteous perfect being out their guiding you and helping you in life. The bible is actually a interesting book and going to church is nice because you see others who have faith and trust, willing to help you in problems. Also my life has begun to actually become better with me growing maturely and understanding varies other things I would never had understood without my religion. Finally before I actually accepted God into my life I always felt alone because I never really took place in some of the things my friends did that I knew were wrong and always felt out of place but now when I feel alone all I do is just talk with God. My life is blessed now and for that I'm happy.
