1- because it's not healthy to have my fellow homininae great apes believe in strange, weird, unprovable things which often command them to do violence unto others.

2- because it's a waste of homininae great apes intelligence, which would be better used to cure cancer or prepare counter measures for the next asteroid to threaten our little planet.

I could probably think of other ills of religions, but that should cover the 20/80.
