"宗教的问题,嗯除了其他问题之外,就是它是唯一一种让人们——好人——做不道德事情的方式。"

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, people who believe strongly in their religion may do things that seem wrong or harmful because they think they are following their faith. Imagine a person who is very kind and caring but thinks that hurting others is okay because their religion says so. This is much like when, in history, people fought in wars believing they were doing the right thing for their religion, even though hurting others is usually not kind or just. In everyday life, this might look like someone being mean to others who don't share their beliefs because they think their religion tells them to. This doesn't mean all religious people are like this, but it shows how powerful beliefs can make someone act against their own sense of kindness. Someone can apply this idea by always questioning if their actions are morally right, even if their beliefs suggest otherwise. It's important to think for ourselves and make sure we are not hurting others in the name of something we believe in. This way, we can stay true to our values of kindness and understanding, no matter what our beliefs are.
