Here's an interesting study on the subject, it says:

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1798944,00.html

"RELIGIOUS belief can cause damage to a society, contributing towards high murder rates, abortion, 
sexual promiscuity and suicide, according to research published today.

According to the study, belief in and worship of God are not only unnecessary for a healthy society 
but may actually contribute to social problems.

The study counters the view of believers that religion is necessary to provide the moral and ethical 
foundations of a healthy society."
