The Abrahamic religions as a whole are garbage.
While the statement that god exists, that god is the designer and creator of all the universe, so on and so forth, is in and of itself unintelligible, unprovable and lacks any supporting evidence at all, the religious texts themselves don't help.
For being the "word of god", the religious texts of these religions are wildly contradictory and encourage immoral practices. Seems more like the works of various human authors to me.
More over, in a historical context, religious institutions have been at the center of incredibly distasteful practices (inquisition, crusades, oppression of minorities in the United States and more over every nation, do I really need to make a laundry list?)
Supernatural religion is a bad thing.
I am not going to argue that without it there would be more good and less evil, but it is undoubtedly a bad thing and totally unnecessary, see above.
And yes, there is such a thing as naturalistic religion that doesn't incorporate anything explicitly supernatural in nature. Buddhism, Martial Arts (take your pick) etc.
