It used to be used for good, it is not religion or the idea of it that cause the problem. It is the people, and if these people still exist, they will just create another thing for them to exerts greed and control over the populace.

Christianity helped community after the fall of Roman Empire and help the oppressed during Roman time. There is a huge amount of pain and suffering caused by the church, but at least it is not what it was founded for.
