Religion means we're where we are today at a literary and mathematical level. Without monasteries, churches, abbeys and Islamic temples, we would simply be at least 300 years behind where we are today in the fields of reading, writing and arithmetic. In the dark ages, religious institutions were the only place in the Islamic and European world where such fields were maintained and researched.
There's one positive outcome, I'm too busy write down the countless others right now.

I think that's probably not true. If it wasn't for religious institutions persecuting academics since the dawn of time, it's possible we would be much more advanced than we currently are.
