Sorry, but that quote was not a hasty generalization but a statement of fact. Of which I can cite an infnite number of historical facts to substantiate.

It is also a FACT that science has been used as a justification for heinous acts of violence...

Yes, but more often with purpose rather than self-serving agendad the likes seen by centuries of religious violence.

...and a FACT that religion has been used to bring charity and goodwill to people.

The bad always outweighs the good, figuratively or factually (in the case of religion, factually).

Religion has been both good and bad, science has been both good and bad.

Yes, but religion far is worse in the totality of its existence and effect upon humanity.

I'm surprised that I have to point out these FACTS to you, since you use big words, and I figure you'd be familiar with, say, Mother Teresa, communist Russia, and Adolf Hitler.

Godwin, hellz yeah.

Yes, I am familiar with those examples and plenty more. Yet, I am less familiar with anyone noteworthy who has actually done some real good, under the guise of religion, that did not cost anyone their fortune or life.
