Which would be irrelevant to the equation.
Should we keep smallpox? Plenty of bad from it, little good. It doesn't matter that there's many other bad things aside from smallpox. We should get rid of smallpox with our wand. Likewise poverty, ignorance, influenza, and anything else we are better off without - like religion. The only real question is: Does religion do more harm than good. I think it a clear yes.
Equating religion with smallpox, poverty, ignorance, or influenza is a false equivelence fallacy.
You can think what ever you want but don't use bad logic to justify a belief. The religious frequently use the same fallacy.
